Local Intel For Gl. Færgehavn
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Best as a current-aware shore dive for advanced divers, with the bridge pillar as the main objective and the return planned against the tide.
Freedive
Not a natural freedive site; the current, long swim, and bridge structure make scuba the practical choice.
Snorkel
The shallow edge is too current-sensitive for casual snorkeling; this is primarily a scuba site.
