This dive site features the M/S Storö, a wonderful hull-intact wreck located close to the Stockholm archipelago. Accessible directly from shore, it offers an excellent opportunity for divers to explore a sunken vessel in relatively shallow waters. While its specific history isn't detailed, exploring an intact wreck allows divers to navigate around and over the structure, observing its preserved features and imagining its past life.
The local marine life includes a fascinating stone fish-like bottom-dwelling fish, adding a unique photographic subject for macro enthusiasts. Divers can also expect to encounter pikes and sea basses, common inhabitants of the archipelago's waters, which often seek shelter around the wreck structure.
The best time to visit this site is during the off-season for boat traffic, typically outside of the main summer months, to ensure a safer and more peaceful diving experience. Its shallow depth makes it highly suitable for both snorkelers and freedivers, offering easy access to the wreck. Divers should be mindful of potential cold water temperatures characteristic of Swedish waters and plan appropriate thermal protection.
