Guleskär is a vertical wall dive located off the coast of Smögen, Sweden. The site features a rock face that drops to depths between 15 and 19 metres, with an average depth of 15 metres. Access is by boat only. Divers encounter mild currents, though surge and swell can impact the shallower sections of the wall. Visibility ranges from 3 to 10 metres. Water temperatures fluctuate significantly throughout the year, ranging from 4C to 16C. Due to the cold water conditions, a drysuit is recommended for most of the year. Divers should maintain buoyancy control to avoid entanglement in the kelp forest and exercise caution near the rock face.

A drysuit is essential here for anything outside the warmest summer months, as temperatures drop to 4 degrees Celsius in winter. Time your dive for slack water and check the swell forecast before launching, as surge against the wall can be uncomfortable and reduces safe working depth on the upper sections.
