Ekensdal

Welcome to Dive Champ, your ultimate guide to advanced diving in Sweden! When exploring the underwater world near Gammelgården, Skurusundsvägen in Nacka, Stockholm County, there are a few key points to keep in mind.

With visibility typically around 4 meters, it's crucial to have the necessary skills and experience for this dive site. We recommend that advanced divers descend to a maximum depth of 29 meters. This site offers a unique experience, where you can explore a broken wooden wreck located just 10 minutes away from the steamboat pier.

As you descend, you'll also come across remnants of old cars right in front of the pier. When you're ready to head back to the surface, climb up the stone beach on your left. While there isn't an abundance of wildlife at this site, keep an eye out for walleye and perch, particularly around the wreck.

To begin your dive, simply jump in from the steamboat dock and choose your direction - either right or left - following the depth curve. It's vital to avoid ascending in open water as there may be large boats passing by, posing a potential danger. Make sure to equip yourself with a compass to navigate safely in the water.

Do note that near the jetty, you'll find the remains of old cars that have likely been there for many years, providing intriguing details to explore. However, please be considerate to the owner of Ekensdal and avoid disturbing their business or inconveniencing their customers.

Lastly, we recommend avoiding diving here during the summer months due to it being an allotment area with limited parking availability. Plan your dive accordingly to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.

Get ready for an unforgettable advanced diving adventure in Sweden! Dive Champ is here to accompany you every step of the way.
