What people usually pay
No nationwide tourist scuba permit, national marine-park dive tag or general Denmark-wide diving visitor levy was verified in the reviewed national and site-specific sources. This does not mean every harbor, nature reserve, private shore or shipwreck is unrestricted. Individual guides, rentals, heritage permissions, tour admissions, lodging and ferries can be chargeable. Quoted public prices are examples, not live reservations or guaranteed 2027 prices. Do not confuse an angling license or wildlife boat fee with permission to scuba dive.
