Ormestad
Shore-access fjord wall dive with rich life and controlled access.
A cold Gullmarsfjorden shore dive with a barrier-controlled entry, limited parking, and a wall-rich profile. The dive rewards slow searching for crabs, cod, and other fjord life.
About Ormestad
Ormestad is a shore-access wall dive far into Gullmarsfjorden, reached through a controlled road barrier and a small payment that unlocks the entry code. Once down there, the site gives you several levels to explore and a lot of life to scan for, with lobsters, sea cucumbers, cod, and winter king crab among the likely sightings. It suits divers who are comfortable with cold fjord water, limited parking, and a site that rewards slow, careful searching along the wall.
