This dive site, Småland, is located within the port area, offering easy shore access from a platform. Divers begin in shallow water, approximately 3 meters deep, then navigate about 25 meters west where the bottom gently slopes to a maximum depth of 13 meters. While there's no specific historical context provided for the dive site itself, its port location suggests it primarily serves as a local recreational spot, ideal for exploring coastal marine life.
Under the water, the site boasts varied flora and fauna typical of Norwegian coastal waters. Divers can expect to observe species such as crabs, flounders, starfish, jellyfish, and particularly interesting, frogfish. The diverse plant life contributes to a rich ecosystem, supporting these smaller marine creatures.
The best time to visit Småland might depend on tide conditions due to possible variable currents at both low and high tides, which divers should be mindful of. The site is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, with its shallow entry and gentle descent making it approachable. The ability to rinse equipment in fresh water on site adds convenience. Photographers interested in macro life will appreciate the small, varied creatures found here.
