Skitrarna is a wall-and-boulder Väderöarna nature dive.
Skitrarna is a Väderöarna boat dive with sloping walls, large boulders, and plenty of crevices that shelter fish and nudibranchs. It suits divers who want a structured nature dive rather than a flat reef, and it can see current, so comfort with boat pickup and changing weather matters. The site is especially strong for nudibranch hunting in winter and spring, with year-round sightings still possible.
