This site is well suited to beginners – especially on days without waves. Dive on a calm day or when the wind is from the east.

Small fish in the shallows

The shallow water teems with small fish. The most numerous fish in the Great Belt are gobies – look for them on the sandy bottom and especially around the stone groynes. The sand at Ceres Beach is also an excellent place for flatfish fry and brown shrimp. A good tip: run your hand across the sand – you only spot many animals once they move.

About 50 metres from shore, and from two metres deep, a broad belt of stones of varying size begins. Here you will find patches of seaweed attached to the rocks. Stones and seaweed are important habitats for most fish, such as pipefish, rock gunnel and bull-rout – and among them, large flatfish.

Train your eyes and go exploring in the Great Belt – the larder of harbour porpoises and seals.
