Hönö

Hönö is a coastal town in Västra Götaland County, Sweden, situated on the island of Öckerö archipelago in the North Sea/Baltic context near the Kattegat. It’s not a large diving hub, but the area offers access to sheltered coastal waters and local dive centers in the Gothenburg region. Nearby dive options include short boat or shore dives around rocky shores and kelp habitats typical of southwestern Sweden, with common visibility in clear, cool waters and marine life such as wrasse, perch, and occasional cod. Since the town itself has no major dive centers, divers typically base in Gothenburg or other coastal towns for organized dives, courses, and equipment rental, using Hönö as a gateway point for day trips and quick shore dives. Freshwater options are limited in the immediate vicinity, so freshwater diving isn’t a primary draw here; instead, expect marine diving within standard sea conditions of the Kattegat area.
