This dive site offers a unique drift diving experience directly beneath the impressive Fehmarnsund Bridge in Germany. Divers embark on a guided drift, navigating with the current, which makes the use of a mandatory dive buoy crucial due to active ship traffic above. The bridge itself, connecting the island of Fehmarn with the German mainland, provides an unusual artificial reef structure for exploration.
Beneath the bridge, divers can encounter a variety of small marine life typical of the Baltic Sea, including small fish species, numerous starfish clinging to structures, slender sea needles, and various types of jellyfish. Crabs are also commonly observed scuttling along the seabed or within crevices, contributing to the site's appeal for macro observation.
The best time to visit this site would generally be during warmer months when water temperatures are more comfortable, and visibility might be at its best. Divers should be proficient in drift diving techniques and always adhere to the mandatory dive buoy requirement for safety. The shallow depths (max 6m, avg 3m) make this site particularly suitable for beginners, snorkeling, and freediving, offering an accessible glimpse into the local marine environment with the unique backdrop of the bridge structure.
