About this dive site

This dive site is located at the Seebrücke (pier) in Scharbeutz, Germany. It offers a shallow and accessible diving experience, particularly suitable for new divers due to its limited depth. Underwater navigation often involves exploring around the pier structures, which act as an artificial reef. While no specific historical details are provided, the pier itself creates an interesting and stable environment.

Divers can encounter a variety of marine life here. Notably, sea hares are a common sight, especially during the colder winter months. From March to May, unique lumpfish can be observed. Flounder and other flatfish species are regularly found between March and October, providing ample opportunities for macro photography and observing bottom-dwelling creatures.

The best time to visit this site is during winter, as the absence of boat traffic ensures calmer conditions and a more undisturbed environment, which can enhance the diving experience. This period also coincides with the peak season for sea hare sightings. Its shallow depth makes it excellent for both freedivers and snorkelers seeking to explore the local Baltic Sea ecosystem.
