This dive site, Hamburgö Nörra, offers a convenient beach entry north of Boviksvägen into a small, sheltered bay featuring a wooden jetty. Divers can easily navigate by following the rocky shore, keeping the rocks to their left, as the bottom gently slopes down to depths of 12-15 meters. While there isn't extensive historical context provided, its easy access and sheltered nature make it a comfortable and straightforward dive.
The underwater environment at Hamburgö Nörra is home to a variety of small, interesting marine creatures. Expect to encounter squat lobsters hidden within the cracks of the rocks, hermit crabs scuttling across the sandy bottom, and ulk (a type of sculpin) camouflaged amongst the seaweed. Edible crabs can be spotted between the rocks, and the site is characterized by the presence of 'blåstak', a type of kelp or bladderwrack.
The best time to visit this dive site for optimal conditions is typically during the late spring to early autumn months, when water temperatures are milder and visibility tends to be at its best for Swedish coastal diving. Its shallow areas and calm conditions make it highly suitable for both snorkelers and freedivers, offering ample opportunity to explore the rich macro life without needing to descend to maximum depths. Divers should be prepared for cooler water temperatures common in Sweden.
