Gävleborgs Län

Gävleborg County lies on Sweden’s east coast along the Baltic Sea. The region is more noted for inland landscapes and freshwater lakes than for offshore diving, and coastal access is limited. Within the county, diving opportunities are modest and typically centered around local freshwater sites and day trips from nearby urban hubs. In general, visibility and currents are variable by season, and marine life at any coastal sites is limited compared with more southern Baltic locales. Diving in this area is suitable for local training and recreational divers looking for short trips, with the primary emphasis on inland waters rather than significant saltwater diving.
