Kattholmen is a reef dive located off the Bohuslän coast, offering a depth range between 15 and 60 metres. The site is accessed by boat and features mild currents, making it manageable for divers focusing on buoyancy. Visibility typically ranges from 5 to 10 metres. Due to water temperatures between 4 and 12 degrees Celsius, a drysuit is essential for all dives. While the reef extends to 60 metres, newer divers should remain in the shallower sections. Species recorded around this area include the orange-clubbed nudibranch, grey sea slug, and various snails. Divers must remain vigilant for boat traffic during ascent and manage entanglement risks.
