This dive site, Johannes L, is a popular beginner wreck located off Råå vallar in Helsingborg, Sweden. The wreck rests on a sandy bottom at a maximum depth of 9 meters, lying on its port side with the bow pointing north. Situated about 250-350 meters from shore, it offers convenient access for divers. The wreck remains largely intact, featuring an open hold and parts of the superstructure, providing an engaging yet manageable environment for new divers to explore wreck diving. There is no specific history of the wreck provided.
The hull of Johannes L is adorned with mussels and seaweed, creating a thriving mini-ecosystem. Divers can expect to observe various small marine creatures, including small fish, crabs, and occasionally lobsters, making it a good spot for observing local marine life.
Given its shallow depth and intact structure, Johannes L is exceptionally well-suited for beginner divers, snorkelers, and freedivers. The starboard railing is particularly accessible, reaching just 1 meter below the surface. While no specific best time to visit is mentioned, the summer months typically offer the best conditions for diving in Sweden, though cold water gear is always recommended.
