This dive site, Långban Gruva, offers a unique and thrilling mine diving experience in Sweden. Operational until 1972, the mine is now filled with groundwater and rainwater, creating an extraordinary underwater labyrinth. Dives are meticulously arranged by Långbans Dyksällskap, requiring prior booking for access to its extensive shafts and tunnels where historical mining equipment and structures remain preserved.
Due to its underground nature and being filled with groundwater, Långban Gruva explicitly states there is no wildlife to observe. Divers should not expect to encounter any marine animals or plants during their exploration of this unique environment.
As an enclosed mine, diving conditions are relatively consistent year-round, making it a viable destination whenever booking allows. However, due to the overhead environment and specialized nature, this site is strictly for advanced divers with appropriate mine diving training and equipment. The focus is on the historical and geological aspects, rather than traditional marine life observation.
