Freshwater quarry with a short tunnel entry.
Freshwater quarry with a short tunnel entry.
Kvinnerst södra is a freshwater quarry dive with a shallow canal entry, a short tunnel into the basin, and a simple wall-and-bottom route. It suits shore divers who are comfortable with private-land access and steady navigation more than open-water drift. Fish, crayfish, and vegetated edges give the quarry more life than a bare basin, while the tunnel still makes reserve planning important.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
3m - 25m
Depth Note
Public site listings put the quarry in the low twenties for max depth; the entry starts shallow through the canal and tunnel, and the main basin drops away beyond it.
Best Season
Late spring to early autumn, with summer bringing the busiest surface use.
Typical Conditions
Freshwater quarry water, a shallow tunnel approach, vegetated edges, and a deeper basin that feels like an inland training site.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for shore divers comfortable with a short tunnel, private access, and a quarry-style route.
Freediving
Experienced freedivers can use the quarry, but the tunnel and depth make it a better fit for planned training than casual apnea.
Snorkeling
Surface swimming happens in summer, but the main interest sits below the tunnel, so this is not a primary snorkel target.
