Bisserup is suitable for both snorkelling and scuba diving. This is exactly where fresh water and salt water meet – and with a diving mask you can see it clearly.

Where fresh and salt water meet

In only a few places in the world does a sea of fresh water meet a true salt-water sea. That is what happens here: we are between the relatively fresh Baltic and the salty North Sea. With an area of 370,000 km², the Baltic is the largest fjord in the world. Fourteen countries send 450,000 km³ of fresh water into it from hundreds of rivers and streams – water that flows out again each year through the Belt Sea.

The area is a breeding and feeding ground for many fish. Look especially for small fish around the stone groynes along the beach. Belts of seaweed alternate with sandy flats, and in deeper water there are dense eelgrass meadows – ideal habitats for a wide range of small fish.

Diving safety

Always follow the rules of your diving certificate. You are responsible for your own safety.
There may be currents in the Great Belt – strength and direction can vary.
Never dive alone; always dive with at least one buddy.
Use a surface marker buoy.

In an emergency: call 112 and give the beach number: P 804, Skafterupvej 182, 4243 Rude.
