Shore wreck dive at Värdshusvraket
An intact freshwater wreck off Stora Essingen with a companion barge beside it, dived from shore through a narrow fairway. The site is compact but demands disciplined buoyancy, low-visibility navigation, and good traffic awareness. Best in the colder months when the water is clearer and boat movement eases, and slow passes help.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Expect cold water, poor visibility, and passing traffic; keep tight buddy contact and a disciplined ascent plan.
Access Restrictions
Use the established shore route and do not treat the site as a casual swim-in; keep clear of the fairway and plan the ascent carefully.
Legal Notes
This is a busy inland waterway between Stora Essingen and Gröndal, so plan with local navigation traffic in mind.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A compact wreck dive for divers comfortable with low visibility, fairway traffic, and tight buoyancy around structure.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive target; the wreck, low visibility, and traffic make scuba the better fit.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkeling target beyond the shallow approach; the wreck itself sits too deep for relaxed snorkeling.
