This dive site, Skovshoved Havn Syd, is located in Denmark and offers easy access and good facilities including parking and toilets. It features a shallow sand bottom that transitions into a nice stone reef, with a maximum depth of 5 meters and an average depth of approximately 2 meters. The site provides two convenient entry/exit points: one next to a small boat slip (farthest) and another via a small jetty for swimmers (nearest). A recommended dive plan, dependent on current conditions, involves entering at the farther point and drifting to exit at the nearer. No specific historical information or unique story behind the site is provided.
Typical marine life for Danish coastal waters would include various cold-water fish species such as juvenile cod, flounder, blennies, and gobies. Invertebrates like crabs, shrimp, and different types of anemones can be found among the stones of the reef. The primary plant life consists of seaweed and various algae, which create habitat and food sources for the local fauna.
The best time to visit for diving or freediving is generally during the warmer summer months when water temperatures are higher, potentially offering better visibility. This site is excellent for beginners, for conducting training dives, or simply for a relaxing shallow exploration. Divers should be mindful of the variable currents mentioned in the description and plan their entries and exits accordingly, especially if attempting a drift dive between the two points. It is also highly suitable for snorkeling due to its very shallow nature.
