Dive-site story
The Little Belt (Lillebælt) is a narrow, dynamic strait separating the island of Funen from the Jutland peninsula. Glacial carving formed steep submarine slopes, clay walls, and deep trenches shaped by constant water exchange between the Kattegat and the Baltic Sea. Dense colonies of plumose anemones, dead man's fingers, and hydroids coat the hard substrate, sustained by nutrient-rich tidal flows.
Steep clay walls dropping into deep channels
Dense carpets of white and orange plumose anemones on rocky slopes
Challenging drift diving driven by powerful tidal exchange
Diverse macro critters including cold-water nudibranchs and sea spiders

Seasonality
Late spring through autumn provides warmer water and more favorable daylight, though winter and early spring offer the best underwater clarity.
