Lotta Klemming has joined her family business as an oyster diver on Sweden's Grebbestad archipelago.

Braving the glacial depths, clad in a dry suit and flippers and armed with a scuba kit, Lotta, the only woman of her profession in Sweden, dives year-round to catch the local delicacy: wild oysters.

The oyster trade didn't really chime with Lotta and so, instead, drawn to the downtown delights of Gothenburg, she pursued a career in fashion.

Nevertheless, Lotta yearned for her marine roots and was lured back to the calm of her native village.

As she readies her catch for the wholesalers, Lotta is well aware of the economic potential of these molluscs - prized for their flavour due to the Grebbestad's nutrient rich waters - but oyster diving is more than a livelihood for Lotta, it's a way of being and a source of contentment.
