    A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.

    Best Western Plus Åby Hotel

    4-star
    Åby / Mölndal, about 70 m from Åby Arena

    USD 150–190 / night

    The only hotel in the captured set that is effectively on the arena doorstep, so it suits exhibitors with early build-up and visitors carrying heavy kit. Book as soon as your dates are fixed.

    Good Morning Mölndal

    Budget
    Åby / Mölndal, about 570 m from Åby Arena

    USD 95–122 / night

    Best value in the walkable radius; a 6-8 minute walk to the hall, which is manageable in winter kit but bring waterproof boots for slush.

    Scandic Mölndal

    Midscale chain
    Åby / Mölndal, about 810 m from Åby Arena

    USD 150–190 / night

    Breakfast (paid), free Wi-Fi, free parking, hot tub, air conditioning, pet-friendly, fitness center, bar and restaurant; 810 m walk to the arena.

    Hotel Mölndals Bro

    Midscale
    Mölndal centre, about 1.2 km from Åby Arena

    USD 150–190 / night

    Mölndal centre location gives you restaurants and shops within a couple of minutes; the arena is a 15-minute walk or a short Västtrafik hop.

    Quality Hotel The Weaver

    Midscale chain
    Mölndal / Gothenburg south

    USD 150–190 / night

    Slightly further from the hall and best used as overflow capacity when the Åby and Mölndal centre hotels are booked out; plan a taxi or bus leg each morning.

    Åby Hotel

    Local independent
    Mölndal, near Åby Arena

    USD 150–202 / night

    Independent hotel in Mölndal marketed for Åby Arena visits; useful when the arena-adjacent chains sell out on show weekend.

    Local transport

    Get around the city with these convenient transport options.

    Airport coach (Flygbussarna)

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forGöteborg Landvetter (GOT) to central Gothenburg, then Västtrafik tram/bus to Åby Arena

    The coach connects the GOT terminal with central Gothenburg, from where the arena district is roughly 9-10 km south toward Mölndal/Åby. Allow 45-60 minutes door to door including the change.

    Taxi

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forGöteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT) to Åby Arena

    Captured Google Maps routes put GOT to Åby Arena at 23.9-27.7 km and 22-27 minutes by road. Traffic on the E6/E20 corridor and winter road conditions can add time, so leave a buffer for a Friday arrival.

    Tram / bus (Västtrafik)

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forGothenburg city centre or Mölndal centre to the Åby Arena stop

    Buy before boarding in the app or from a machine - cash is not accepted on board. Check the live travel planner for the current tram or bus line serving the Åby Arena stop on your day.

    Regional train + local connection

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forGöteborg C to Mölndal station, then bus or walk to Åby Arena

    Useful if you stay in central Gothenburg: the regional train run to Mölndal is quick and the remaining hop to the arena is short, which keeps you out of show-weekend traffic.

    Walking

    Estimated costNo fare
    Best forÅby / Mölndal hotels to Åby Arena

    Best Western Plus Åby Hotel is about 70 m from Åby Arena, Good Morning Mölndal about 570 m and Scandic Mölndal about 810 m per captured hotel distances; in February, allow extra minutes for icy or slushy pavements.

    Car / parking

    Estimated costCost TBA
    Best forÅby Arena car park, Mölndal

    Parking serves the arena but capacity is finite on a show weekend, and exhibitors with heavy kit should ask about loading access and build-up slots rather than relying on visitor parking.

    Weather

    Gothenburg in mid-February sits near freezing: expect daytime highs around 2-4 C, overnight lows of about -3 to -1 C, frequent overcast skies and a mix of light rain, sleet and snow showers, with short daylight hours. Snow cover is possible but not guaranteed, and the west coast wind makes it feel colder on the walk between the Mölndal hotels and Åby Arena. Build slack into airport-to-venue transfers - a GOT taxi run of 25-30 minutes is normal, but February road conditions can stretch it - and keep a waterproof outer layer accessible for the 5-15 minute walks from the nearby hotels. Indoor halls are heated, so a removable mid-layer is more practical than a single heavy coat.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Swedish mobile coverage is strong in Gothenburg and Mölndal, with 4G/5G available around Åby Arena and on the tram and bus routes. Visitors travelling on an EU/EEA SIM benefit from roam-like-at-home pricing for calls, texts and data; visitors from outside the EU should buy a local prepaid data SIM or an eSIM before arrival rather than paying roaming rates. Hotel and venue Wi-Fi is common but not guaranteed across every hall, so download your ticket, the organiser schedule and the Västtrafik app before you travel, and carry a power bank for a full day of photographing product labels and booth contacts.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Money and payments

    Sweden uses the krona (SEK) and runs close to cashless: cards and mobile payments are standard at hotels, restaurants, arena vendors and transit ticket machines, and some venues no longer accept cash at all. A contactless card or phone wallet covers almost everything at Dykmassan, so you rarely need to withdraw kronor.

    Getting around

    Västtrafik runs Gothenburg's trams, buses and ferries, and its zone A ticket covers the Gothenburg-Mölndal corridor that includes the Åby Arena stop. Buy in the app or from a machine before boarding, validate the ticket, and allow extra time on cold February days when walking between the Mölndal hotels and the hall.

    Language

    Swedish is the local language, with English widely and comfortably spoken by hotel, transport and venue staff - and by most exhibitors in the Swedish dive trade. Product sheets and price lists at the fair lean Swedish, so ask for English documentation if you need it for a purchasing decision back home.

    Tipping and meals

    Service is normally included in Swedish prices, and tipping is modest and optional - rounding up or adding around 5-10 percent for good table service is plenty. Lunch queues in the arena area peak between 12:00 and 13:00 on show days, so eat slightly early if you want to keep a booth meeting schedule.

    Queues and punctuality

    Swedes tend to be punctual and orderly: arrive at the time you booked a meeting, queue on the right of escalators, and keep to the marked lanes at the arena entrance and cloakroom. Badge checks at Åby Arena move quickly when visitors have their ticket open on the phone before reaching the door.

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: GOT

    Gothenburg Landvetter (GOT) is the arrival airport for Dykmassan, roughly 25-30 minutes by road from Åby Arena. Captured Google Flights quotes for a single adult economy round trip departing 13 February 2027 and returning 17 February 2027 were around SEK 2,631 for London Heathrow via Frankfurt (about 4 hr 25 min), SEK 3,043 for the British Airways nonstop from Heathrow (about 2 hr) and SEK 6,900 for New York JFK via Helsinki (about 12 hr), all flagged as currently typical rather than guaranteed. Long-haul origins including Dubai, Tokyo, Singapore and Sydney returned no usable fare rows in that capture, so run a live fare search before committing. If your dates are flexible, shifting a day either side of the show weekend often beats paying the Friday premium.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT). Allow road or rail time to Åby Arena; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Åby Arena: Åby / Mölndal, about 70 m from Åby Arena: Best Western Plus Åby Hotel; Åby / Mölndal, about 570 m from Åby Arena: Good Morning Mölndal; Åby / Mölndal, about 810 m from Åby Arena: Scandic Mölndal.

    Ride-hail: App-based ride-hailing works in Gothenburg - Uber is the mainstream option, and local taxi firms such as Taxi Göteborg also take bookings by app or phone. Check availability in your app on the day, since supply tightens on Friday evenings and when the arena empties at close. Expect roughly the same bands as a metered taxi: about SEK 550-750 for the GOT airport run to Åby Arena and a short Mölndal-to-arena hop in the SEK 100-200 region; confirm the quoted price in the app before you confirm the ride. Pre-booking a return trip for the end of the show day is the simplest way to avoid a wait in the cold.

    Public transit: Public transport in Gothenburg and Mölndal is run by Västtrafik and covers trams, buses and ferries on one ticketing system. For Dykmassan you want the Åby Arena stop, reached from central Gothenburg or Mölndal centre on the tram or bus network; check the live travel planner on the day because which line is quickest depends on your starting point. Buy a zone A single (approximate SEK 45-60, valid for 90 minutes of onward travel) in the app or from a ticket machine before boarding, and load it onto your phone so you are not hunting for a machine in the cold. Weekend services run less frequently in the early morning, so check the first departure if you plan to arrive at opening time.

    Parking: Åby Arena has parking serving the halls, with capacity that is comfortable for a normal event but finite on a February show weekend. Confirm the current day rate (approximate SEK 50-150 per show day) and any height restrictions with the venue or organiser before driving. Exhibitors with heavy equipment should ask about build-up access, loading bays and long-stay parking rather than using visitor spaces; visitors driving from central Gothenburg should allow extra time on the E6/E20 corridor on Friday afternoon and in sleet.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: February 2027

    Temperature: February in Gothenburg typically sits near freezing, with daytime highs around 2-4 C and overnight lows around -3 to -1 C. Wind off the west coast makes it feel colder at the arena entrance and on station platforms; treat it as cold winter conditions rather than a mild coastal spring.

    Seasonality: February is a wet, overcast month in western Sweden, with frequent light rain, sleet or snow showers and short daylight hours - sunrise is late and it is dark again by the end of the show afternoon. Snow lying on the ground is possible but not guaranteed, and pavements can alternate between slush and ice across a single weekend.

    Packing: Pack insulated layers with a removable mid-layer, a windproof and waterproof outer shell, warm gloves, a hat and a scarf for the walks between the Mölndal hotels and Åby Arena, plus waterproof footwear with grip for slushy or icy pavements. Indoor halls are heated, so you will want to shed the outer shell at the cloakroom; bring a compact bag for that and a power bank for a long day of photographing equipment and price tags.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 (mid-show)

    Mid-show days at Scandinavian Dive Show usually combine full exhibitor attendance with scheduled B2B meetings, before early pack-down on the final day.

    Day 1

    T-14: book a refundable Mölndal hotel close to the arena - Best Western Plus Åby Hotel (about 70 m), Good Morning Mölndal (about 570 m) or Scandic Mölndal (about 810 m) - before show-weekend rates firm up.

    Day 2

    T-12: reserve GOT flights; captured London-Gothenburg round trips sat around SEK 2,600-3,000 for 13-17 February 2027, so flexing your dates may be cheaper than flying Friday to Sunday.

    Day 3

    T-12: check passport validity and, if you need a Schengen short-stay visa, start the application now rather than in January.

    Day 4

    T-10: work out your Västtrafik plan - a zone A single covers tram and bus travel across Gothenburg and Mölndal, and the app or ticket machine is quicker than paying on board.

    Day 5

    T-10: write a gear shortlist (drysuit, regulator set, dive computer, fins, torch) so you compare specific models instead of browsing the whole hall.

    Day 6

    T-7: reserve any try-dive, pool session or seminar seat the organiser publishes in advance; weekend slots at a two-day fair go first.; T-7: pack for a Nordic February - insulated mid-layer, windproof and waterproof shell, warm gloves, hat and waterproof boots for slushy pavements.

    Day 7

    T-5: load a payment card into your phone and check contactless limits; Swedish venues are effectively cashless.

    Day 8

    T-5: charge power banks and clear phone storage - you will photograph product labels, price tags and booth contacts all day.

    Day 9

    T-3: confirm your transfer plan from GOT or the hotel and allow 45-60 minutes for the arena run in winter conditions.

    Day 10

    T-3: check the weather forecast for Gothenburg and build a 20-minute buffer into Friday afternoon transfers on the E6/E20 corridor.

    Day 11

    T-1: print or download your ticket and note the hall opening times so you arrive in the first hour when demonstration slots are free.

    Day 12

    T-14: confirm the Dykmassan dates (13-14 February 2027) and save the organiser schedule page so you know which demos and talks you want to catch at Åby Arena.; Show day: keep a note of every booth you want to revisit and the price or delivery term quoted, then compare before committing.

    FAQs & glossary

    Answers

    Frequently asked

    When and where is Dykmassan 2027?
    Dykmassan runs 13-14 February 2027 at Åby Arena in Mölndal, in the southern part of greater Gothenburg. The venue sits roughly 9-10 km by road south of central Gothenburg, so visitors staying in the city can reach it by Västtrafik tram or bus, taxi or car.
    How do I get to Åby Arena from Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT)?
    GOT is the commercial airport for Gothenburg and sits around 24-28 km from Åby Arena. A taxi takes roughly 25-30 minutes in normal traffic; the airport coach runs to central Gothenburg where you change to a Västtrafik tram or bus toward Mölndal/Åby. Allow 45-60 minutes end to end on a weekday and more on a Friday afternoon.
    Do I need a visa to travel to Gothenburg for Dykmassan?
    Sweden is in the Schengen area. If your nationality requires a Schengen short-stay visa, apply through the nearest Swedish embassy or consulate well before February 2027, and check that your passport has enough remaining validity for entry. The organiser does not publish visa support details for this event, so treat the embassy as the authoritative source.
    Is Dykmassan a trade-only fair or can recreational divers attend?
    Dykmassan is a dive fair that draws both recreational divers and trade visitors, including clubs, schools and marine-industry businesses. Check the current admission and registration rules on dykmassan.se before you travel, since opening times and any trade-only windows are set by the organiser.
    Where should I stay near Åby Arena?
    The closest options are in Åby and Mölndal: Best Western Plus Åby Hotel (about 70 m from the arena), Good Morning Mölndal (about 570 m) and Scandic Mölndal (about 810 m). Hotel Mölndals Bro and Quality Hotel The Weaver sit a little further out in Mölndal, and central Gothenburg works if you prefer a bigger choice of restaurants and take a tram or bus to the arena.
    Will I be able to try diving at the fair?
    Any try-dive pool, demo area or stage programme is published by the organiser rather than fixed in advance for every edition. Check the schedule page at dykmassan.se/schedule close to the date and, if a try-dive is offered, reserve a slot early - weekend sessions at a two-day consumer fair fill quickly.
    What is the February weather like in Gothenburg?
    Expect cold, changeable winter weather: daytime highs around 2-4 C, overnight lows near -3 to -1 C, frequent overcast skies and a mix of rain, sleet and snow showers. Snow cover is possible but not guaranteed. Pack a windproof and waterproof outer layer for the walk between Mölndal hotels and the arena.
    Is parking available at Åby Arena?
    Åby Arena has parking serving the halls, but capacity on a February show weekend is finite. Confirm the current day rate and access arrangements with the venue or the organiser before driving, and arrive early if you are carrying heavy dive kit to the hall.
    Can I pay by card in Sweden?
    Yes. Sweden is close to cashless, and cards plus mobile payments are standard at hotels, restaurants, ticket machines and arena vendors. A contactless card covers almost everything; carrying a small amount of kronor (SEK) is optional rather than necessary.
    What language is used at Dykmassan?
    Swedish is the local language and the main language of the Swedish dive market, while English is widely spoken by exhibitors, venue staff and transport operators. If you want a specific product briefing in English, ask the booth team or arrange it in advance through the exhibitor.
    How many days should I plan for Dykmassan?
    The fair runs across two days, so one full day is enough to walk the halls and compare major equipment lines, while two days suits visitors booking courses, meeting several exhibitors or combining shopping with seminars. Add a buffer day if you are flying into GOT and want to avoid weather delays in February.
    What gear should I bring to the show?
    Bring measurements or the gear you want to replace - boot size, glove size, suit size and current computer model - plus a charged phone for photos of product labels and price tags. Do not bring cylinders or gas on public transport; equipment purchases are usually arranged for shipping or pickup at the booth.

    Glossary

    1
    Drysuit
    A sealed suit with watertight neck and wrist seals that keeps the diver dry, with a gas inflator and exhaust valve to manage buoyancy. It is the default exposure suit for Swedish and Norwegian diving, so fit, seal type (neoprene versus silicone) and undergarment thickness are standard comparisons at Dykmassan.
    2
    BCD (buoyancy compensator device)
    The jacket or wing that holds the cylinder and lets a diver add or dump air to control buoyancy at depth and on the surface. Jacket, back-inflation and sidemount designs are the three families buyers usually compare on a show floor.
    3
    Regulator set
    The first stage that attaches to the cylinder valve plus the primary second stage, backup second stage and pressure gauge or transmitter. CE type-approval to EN 250 is the standard reference European buyers ask about, alongside breathing effort and cold-water rating.
    4
    Dive computer
    A wrist or console instrument that calculates no-decompression limits and decompression stops from depth, time and breathing gas. Buyers compare algorithm (Buhlmann ZHL-16 with gradient factors versus RGBM), nitrox modes, air integration and screen readability in cold, gloved conditions.
    5
    Nitrox
    Breathing gas with a higher oxygen fraction than air, most often EAN32 or EAN36, used to extend no-decompression time. Nitrox-compatible computers and analysers are a recurring product category for travelling divers.
    6
    Freediving
    Breath-hold diving without a cylinder, using a monofin or long bifins, a low-volume mask and a lanyard for safety. Nordic freedivers train in cold open water and indoor pools, which is why freediving gear and course providers sit alongside scuba ranges at the fair.
    7
    Liveaboard
    A multi-day diving trip where you sleep and eat on board a boat while diving several sites per day. Liveaboard operators selling Red Sea, Norway and Mediterranean itineraries use consumer fairs like this one to fill cabins for the coming season.
    8
    Divemaster
    The first professional-level recreational certification, qualifying a diver to assist instructors, lead certified divers and supervise club dives. Divemaster and instructor candidates are a distinct buyer group for pro-level kit and training materials.
    9
    Try-dive
    A short, supervised introductory session in a pool or confined water for people who have never dived, usually with basic rental kit supplied. Consumer dive fairs often use try-dives to convert curious visitors into open water course bookings.
    10
    Rebreather
    A closed or semi-closed circuit unit that recycles exhaled gas through a carbon dioxide scrubber, giving long bottom times and near-silent diving. Rebreather divers need specific training, scrubber material, oxygen cells and spare parts, which makes them a specialist niche within technical diving retail.

    Cold-water diving
    Diving in water roughly below 10 C, the normal condition in Swedish seas and lakes. It drives demand for drysuits, dry gloves, thick hoods, steel cylinders, cold-rated regulators and reliable computers that survive a glove-operated interface.

    Surface interval
    The time spent at the surface between dives during which residual nitrogen is off-gassed. Dive computers and planning apps use it to calculate the next dive's limits, and it is a familiar topic in equipment demos and seminar sessions.
