About Little Belt
Little Belt is a shore-entry strait dive in the narrow water between Middelfart and Fredericia, where current, stone reefs, and steep underwater slopes shape every plan. The site rewards slack-water timing and solid buoyancy, with rocky structure, mussel beds, kelp, anemones, cod, sea trout, and frequent porpoise encounters making it a signature cold-water dive for experienced teams.
