Journey towards the watery depths towards Wattnet, where a mesmerizing wreck lies in wait.

This remarkable dive spot presents a stunning wreck, but please bear in mind that it is situated within a commonly frequented route for sizeable ferries. Thus, maintaining excellent buoyancy control is highly recommended to ensure a safe and enjoyable dive.

Along the keel or railing, peculiar "pegs" protrude, evoking curiosity and wonder. The shallower areas hover at approximately 20 meters, while the deepest areas reach around 22 meters. This awe-inspiring wreck spans roughly 25 meters in length.

Additionally, immerse yourself in the captivating Käppala 12:an wreck, situated within Saltsjön (Lidingö). This unidentified wreck is composed mainly of scattered boards, with a small grouping at the bottom fused together. The maximum depth reaches approximately 14 meters, while the shallowest areas dip to around 9 meters, encompassing an approximate area of 15x8 meters.
