Best for intermediate divers, Up to 55m, shore entry, mild current.
Högsma Stenbrott is a former quarry in Skåne offering a dramatic depth range from the surface down to 55 metres. This shore dive features vertical and stepped quarry walls that provide a clear sense of scale for intermediate divers. Conditions include mild currents and visibility typically ranging between 5 and 10 metres. Divers must maintain solid buoyancy control to avoid stirring up sediment. Given the significant depth and potential overhead environments, careful dive planning is essential. The water remains cold year-round, with temperatures recorded between 3°C and 9°C, necessitating the use of a drysuit or a thick wetsuit with hood and gloves.
