The dive centre
The dive centre is centrally situated in Mariehamn, within only 15 minutes walking from the city centre, by the bank of the western harbour.

The centre is equipped for groups up to ten people. Our ambition is to make our guests feel at home and enjoy our professional service during their stay.

The centre offers a dormitory-style accommodation with access to shared facilities such as:

• A well equipped kitchen where you are welcome to prepare meals
• A sauna section with showers
• An equipment room for personal gear and equipment.
• A designated area for configuration of your own equipment.

We also help with hotel room-reservations! The dive boat is located only 75 metres from the centre which makes it easily accessible! To further increase our services for the 2005 season we are reconstructing the facilities and we have bought a new boat. The centre is provided with a new air bank, the equipment room and the kitchen are refurbished.

The dive centre is a IANTD Fills Station Centre and supplies Nitrox, Trimix, Argon and O2. All our air supply is nitrox compatible so you never need to worry about getting the right air type for your tank.

The filling station is equipped with

• A stationary compressor Bauer Mini Vertikus
• Air bank – 80.000 litres
• Gas store with He N47, Breathing Oxygen and Argon

We offer diving for everyone, from beginners to extreme tech-divers.
Åland is a unique island landscape with about 6.500 islands. Together they become one of the world’s most difficult waters to navigate in.

The archipelago is the natural commercial route between Sweden and Finland, used since ancient times. With all its skerries and islands the archipelago has always posed a real threat to the sea farers and many ships have ended their last journeys on the sea floor. The Åland archipelago in the Baltic is one of the areas in the world with the highest density of ship-wrecks, with more than 500 known wrecks.

Thanks to the unique circumstances in the Baltic, with low salinity, old wrecks are conserved and steel ships are slowly broken down. This in combination with unique legislation has preserved many of the wrecks in Åland waters. With us you have the possibility to visit some of the unique wrecks. The markings in black show where the wrecks can be found in the Åland archipelago. More information on the diving spots can be found in the Wreck Guide, www.divealand.com. During your stay we offer many different events; diving combined with wonderful nature and visits to world-class maritime museums.

The Åland Maritime museum and the museum ship Pommern are well worth a visit. The day trips are planned according to your wishes and considering the weather conditions. If the weather is co-operative it is possible to do an all day-excursion including two dives. Between dives it is possible to visit one of the many natural harbours in the area. On the much appreciated islands Rödhamn, Kobba klintar and Signilskär there is a possibility to have a barbecue, sunbathe or just enjoy the Åland archipelago.
