Little Belt, Denmark

Little Belt, a narrow strait in Denmark, offers a unique diving experience defined by its powerful currents and rich biodiversity. The area is renowned for its wall dives, where currents sweep past steep drop-offs covered in colourful anemones, sea squirts, and sponges. This dynamic environment creates a nutrient-rich habitat that supports a dense concentration of marine life, making it a distinctive cold-water destination. Divers can explore a variety of sites accessible from both shore and boat, each presenting a different facet of the Baltic Sea's underwater world.

Diving in Little Belt is characterized by cold water and variable visibility, often requiring a drysuit and experience with currents. However, the rewards are significant. The strait is one of the world's most densely populated areas for harbour porpoises, offering a rare chance for encounters. Beyond the unique fauna, divers are drawn to historical wrecks and the challenge of drift diving in a stunning Scandinavian setting. It’s an ideal destination for experienced cold-water enthusiasts seeking something different from tropical reefs.
