Dive asap?

Read in the swedish forum "dykarna.nu" that the bottomdepth is betveen 60-70m in the area. If that is correct its only 1,5h with car and boattrailer and 40 min at sea. This can bee the perfect practisingwreek.:)

When the pos goes public i would be very happy if someone could post it on the forum:D .
