Stockholms Dykcenter

Stockholms Dykcenter is one of the largest diving centres in the Nordic region, situated in the centre of Stockholm. The shop is a short walk from the Hötorget metro station and the central railway station, making it easily accessible from most hotels and the city's main transport links.

Since its establishment in 2006, the centre has become a primary gateway for divers looking to explore the unique underwater landscapes of Sweden. The focus here is on the historical and atmospheric diving opportunities found within the Stockholm archipelago, particularly the various wreck sites that define the local diving scene.

The centre is run by a team of professional instructors dedicated to high-level training and safety. They have certified thousands of divers through a comprehensive range of SSI programmes, ensuring that both novices and experienced professionals receive precise instruction.

Beyond basic training, the team provides expertise in specialised areas such as dry suit diving and ice diving, which are essential for the local environment. Their experience is reflected in the breadth of their course catalogue and their ability to manage excursions in the archipelago.

As an SSI affiliated centre, Stockholms Dykcenter offers a complete spectrum of training. This ranges from the initial Open Water Diver and Open Water Referral courses to advanced certifications like the Advanced Open Water Diver and DiveMaster levels.

Speciality courses are extensive, covering essential skills for the region such as the Dry Suit Diving Specialty, Ice Diving Specialty, and the Wreck Diving Specialty. Divers can also refine their technical abilities through the Deep Diving Specialty, Navigation Specialty, and the Perfect Buoyancy Specialty, or prepare for professional instructor training through the Instructor Training Course.

The centre organises day trips to various locations including Dalarö and Landsort. These excursions are conducted via minibus transfers to the departure points, where divers can access the boats for full-day adventures. The trips are specifically designed to reach the historic wrecks scattered throughout the archipelago.

The shop offers a full range of equipment for sale and provides professional servicing for essential kit, including BCDs and regulators. For those who prefer not to carry their own gear, complete rental packages are available, including fins, masks, and snorkels.

While full kit hire is provided, the centre specifically offers wetsuit and dry suit rentals to suit the local conditions. Nitrox is available on-site for divers looking to extend their bottom times during decompression-heavy or deep wreck dives.

Outdoor diving in the region is subject to seasonal changes. Between November and April, diving is dependent on ice-free conditions, and excursions may be postponed in the event of extreme weather.
