About this dive site

The site boasts a rich diversity of life, with numerous cracks providing refuge for various creatures. Expect to encounter many nudibranchs, lobsters, edible crabs, blåstak, cod, and other regular fish. The wall is also adorned with a wide array of different types of seaweed.

The best time to visit is typically during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when water temperatures are more comfortable. This site is ideal for macro photography enthusiasts due to its abundant small life. Divers and freedivers should be mindful of the currents.
