This dive site features Värdshusvraket, a fairly intact wreck of a large ship, measuring 25 meters long and 7 meters wide. Divers navigate a well-preserved structure, often exploring the exterior and the immediate surroundings. Historically, the wreck's name translates to 'Inn Wreck,' suggesting a connection to an inn or local establishment, though its exact story of sinking is not provided. A notable feature is a barge situated directly beside the main wreck, adding to the underwater landscape.
The marine life here is primarily characterized by a number of small perch that inhabit the wreck. Divers can also discover a lot of intricate details on and around the wreck itself, which might include various crustaceans, mollusks, and cold-water flora adapted to the low light and colder conditions of Swedish waters.
The best time to visit this dive site is during the colder months of the year, as this often leads to better water clarity compared to warmer periods which can stir up sediment. For divers, be prepared for bad visibility and cold water conditions, which will require appropriate dry suit diving experience and good buoyancy control. Freedivers will find the maximum depth of 16 meters manageable, but should also be mindful of the challenging visibility.
