Cold-water quarry dive with plateaus, caves, and a deep main pit.
Kolsva Fältspatsgruva is a cold-water quarry dive with broad plateaus, steep walls, and a deep main pit that rewards careful buoyancy. The easier side is more open and shallow, while the deeper sections and tunnel-like features turn it into a more serious shore dive. Divers come here for the strange quarry terrain, the scrap-cars-and-cliff feel, and a site that is very much about dive control rather than coral.
