Lotta Klemming is one of only a handful of divers in Sweden who plunge into the icy waters in full scuba gear to hand pick oysters.

What's more, Lotta is Sweden's only female professional oyster catcher, a family trade passed down by her father and his brother.

But oyster diving wasn't Lotta's first choice of career - she initially swapped her hometown for the bright lights of Gothenburg.

Despite this, gradually the call of the sea brought her home to the Grebbestad archipelago on Sweden's west coast.

After picking the oysters and bringing them ashore, Lotta takes the haul to a nearby beach to clean them and prepare them for sale.

These special oysters, which can grow up to 11cm in diameter, sell for around 7 euros a piece.

But it isn't all about the money for Lotta.
