Divers & Scientists West Coast Sweden

Welcome to our website. We are Divers and Scientists on the West Coast in Sweden, based in Lysekil, Bohuslän. We operate for the public benefit and conduct marine research, provide education, promote diving as a scientific method, and disseminate research findings to the public.

News from the Authors

We are currently focused on Swedish cephalopods and marine health along the west coast of Sweden. During 2026, work was centered around the discovery of a previously unknown eye tumour affecting Alloteuthis media, one of Sweden’s most common squid species.

The condition can cause complete blindness and has never before been scientifically documented. Ongoing studies, conducted in collaboration with international researchers in Spain, include DNA and histological analysis to better understand the biological and ecological effects on squid populations and marine ecosystems.
