About Stora Rör

Stora Rör is a harbor-side natural dive on west-central Öland at the narrowest stretch of the Kalmar Sound. The bottom shifts between stone, sand, and vegetation, so the profile changes as you move through the site. It is better as a calm-condition dive than a rushed stop, because current can appear and the mixed bottom rewards steady navigation.
