This dive site, Hönö Både, is located off the west coast of Sweden, offering an exciting challenge for advanced divers. Divers typically begin on the west side, exploring fascinating ravines and cracks. The highlight is an almost vertical wall that descends to approximately 30 meters. Navigating this site is complex and requires proficient compass use, as the recommended circuit involves continuing south to the wall, then east with the wall on the left, and finally north to ascend on the east side of Hönö Både. There is no historical information provided about the site's past or story.
The provided information does not detail specific marine animals or plants found at Hönö Både. However, given its location in the cold, temperate waters of Sweden, divers can generally expect to encounter various species of cold-water fish, crustaceans, and potentially some types of anemones, sponges, and seaweed that thrive in such environments, particularly along the rocky wall and within the cracks and ravines.
This site is noted as being sensitive to weather, suggesting that calm conditions are essential for a safe and enjoyable dive. The best time to visit would likely be during periods of stable, clear weather to maximize visibility and minimize challenging currents. For divers, the primary highlights are the dramatic underwater topography, including the deep wall and intricate ravines. Advanced divers will appreciate the navigational challenge and the opportunity to explore depths beyond 18 meters on the wall. While the average depth is 7 meters, allowing for potential surface activities, the complex navigation and emphasis on deeper exploration make it primarily a challenging dive destination rather than suitable for casual snorkeling. Experienced freedivers capable of deeper dives may also find the wall appealing.
