About this dive site

This dive site, Frosta Port, is a newly developed port area in Frosta, Norway, primarily utilized for dive training exercises. Divers can easily enter the water from a dedicated platform in the parking lot or directly from the shore. The underwater topography consists of a gently sloping sandy bottom, gradually leading towards the open fjord. There is no specific historical narrative provided beyond its recent construction as a new port.

Underwater, Frosta Port offers a surprising variety of flora and fauna for a port environment. Divers can observe numerous species including crabs, flatfish like flounder, starfish, various jellyfish, and even the camouflaged frogfish. The varied marine life contributes to a rich ecosystem despite its accessible, shallow nature.

As a training site, Frosta Port is suitable for diving year-round, though the best time would likely be during the warmer months (late spring to early autumn) for more comfortable conditions, especially for beginners. It's an excellent location for skill practice and macro photography enthusiasts due to the abundant small marine life. Both freedivers and snorkelers will find the shallow depths and calm conditions appealing for exploration and observation.
