About Stora Sundskär
Stora Sundskär is a stepped wall dive in the Väderöarna reserve, with ledges and cracks that give the site a layered, terrain-heavy feel. The wall is the main attraction, and the crevices hold plenty of cold-water life instead of broad open sand. Plan it as a deeper boat dive where current and sea state matter, and the best day is usually the one with the calmest conditions.
