Shore dive with soft sand and a deeper pier end
Shore dive with soft sand and a deeper pier end
Kollund Mole is a straightforward shore-entry dive on the Flensburg Fjord side of the pier, starting over shallow sand before the bottom drops away near the end of the mole. The route is easy to read but the working zone is messy: soft sediment, overgrown walls, and scattered tires or debris make it a better out-and-back than a long swim. It suits relaxed scuba and freedive sessions in calm water, but the plan should stay tight because marine-reserve boundaries, boats, and stronger current all matter here.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
0m - 20m
Depth Note
The site starts in shallow water and drops to about 20 m near the pier end; the conservative baseline keeps the shallow approach intact.
Best Season
Year-round, with calmer days preferred.
Typical Conditions
Soft sand and sediment at the approach, overgrown walls around the pier, and a deeper end that is best handled as a compact out-and-back.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight around the pier walls and debris, and do not stir the bottom more than necessary. Treat the mole as a traffic-aware shore dive with conservative turnaround planning.
Access Restrictions
Stay out of marine-reserve zone A and keep to the signed public diving area near the mole. Public parking is advised rather than marina-side parking.
Legal Notes
The site sits on a marine-reserve boundary, so the signed zone rules matter more than the casual shoreline appearance suggests.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a short shore-based out-and-back dive that stays close to the pier structure and avoids overworking the sediment.
Freediving
Possible in the shallows for confident freedivers, but the mole traffic and stirred sediment make it a conservative choice.
Snorkeling
A snorkel works best in the shallow approach on calm days and is not a good fit when traffic or sediment is up.
