Langhammars is a shore wall on northern Fårö, entered by the car park, where softer ledges reach 27 m. The steps are gentler and less steep than those at nearby Digerhuvud. Wind or a rough sea rules the site out.

The dive
The entry is by the car park, and the dive follows a series of soft ledges down the slope. They are not as steep as the drop at Digerhuvud, and the depth bottoms out at 27 m. The site suits experienced divers, though those with less experience can dive it alongside experienced buddies or a guide.
