This dive site, Sörhults stenbrott, is a former stone quarry nestled near Växjö in Kronoberg County, Sweden. As a tranquil freshwater site, it offers a peaceful environment for divers exploring its unique underwater landscape. Navigation typically involves exploring the quarry walls and bottom, which feature interesting rock formations and varying topography resulting from its mining history.
The aquatic inhabitants of Sörhults stenbrott include various freshwater species such as perch and pike, offering good opportunities for observation of larger fish. In the shallower areas, divers can expect to find crayfish, and during spring, the site becomes particularly lively with numerous tadpoles, adding a seasonal charm to the ecosystem.
The best time to visit Sörhults stenbrott would likely be during the warmer months (late spring to early autumn) when water temperatures are more comfortable and marine life, especially tadpoles, is most active. It's suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers seeking a calm freshwater experience. Divers should be prepared for the colder water typical of Sweden and plan their dives accordingly.
