About this dive site

This dive site is located around Gullholmen, an island in Norway featuring an old lighthouse and keeper's house. Now owned by Moss Municipality, the island offers exceptional diving along its vertical walls. Divers can expect to navigate along these impressive rock formations, exploring numerous cracks and overhangs that serve as natural habitats, offering an interesting topography for exploration.

The marine environment is teeming with life, providing a rich display of crabs, lobsters, and cod, alongside various other fish species. The vertical walls themselves are likely covered in a diverse array of cold-water marine organisms, contributing to a vibrant and healthy underwater ecosystem.

While specific best times are not provided, Norwegian diving is often best in summer or early autumn for potentially better conditions. Divers should bring appropriate cold-water gear and pay close attention to the smaller details within the cracks and under rocks, which often reveal fascinating macro life. Freedivers can also enjoy the clear waters and dramatic wall formations.
