Sheltered Lake Vättern shore dive with easy entry and calm shallows.
Sheltered Lake Vättern shore dive with easy entry and calm shallows.
Storalund/Hästholmensskjutfält Södra is a sheltered freshwater shore dive on Lake Vättern, approached from a small sandy beach on the northern side. The calm bay keeps the shallows easy to read, while the broader site drops deeper for more advanced exploration. Crabs, perch, burbot, and other small-lake life make it a quiet observational dive rather than a current-driven one.
