This dive site is the Vagnhärad limestone quarry, offering a pleasant diving experience characterized by its generally good visibility. The quarry features various levels at different depths, making it an excellent location for dive training. As a former quarry, its underwater topography consists of man-made rock structures and ledges, with convenient access thanks to parking available directly at the water's edge.
Marine life at Vagnhärad kalkbrott is relatively limited. Divers can expect to encounter a few crayfish foraging among the rocks and perch of various sizes schooling or hiding in crevices. The environment is typical of freshwater quarries, supporting a modest but observable ecosystem of these resilient species.
The best time to visit Vagnhärad kalkbrott is when water temperatures are most comfortable, typically during the warmer months, though drysuit diving allows year-round access. Its primary highlight is its suitability for dive training across all levels, from beginners to those practicing advanced skills. Freedivers will also find the varied depths and good visibility appealing for breath-hold practice. Divers should be mindful of the maximum depth of 23 meters and the generally cold water temperatures inherent to Swedish freshwater diving.
