Whiskey Reef - Skovshoved Havn is a shallow harbor reef in the Whiskey Belt, with easy shore access, stone piles and eelgrass that make it a good practice and night-dive site. The route is simple on the bottom, but you still need to mind harbor traffic and choose the lane and current window carefully.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
0m - 6m
Depth Note
Public guides describe a very shallow shore site: the main route runs out to about 4-4.5 m and the site tops out around 6 m.
Best Season
Year-round; summer is most convenient for facilities and club activity.
Typical Conditions
A shallow sand-and-stone reef with eelgrass, a tide-sensitive harbor environment and enough shelter for skills practice and night diving.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Stay low by the reef and pay attention to boats, kayaks and the harbor entrance. A drysuit is a sensible default in colder months.
Access Restrictions
Use the kayak lane and tow point, and keep clear of harbor traffic. Parking is close, but you still need to walk or trolley the last stretch to the water.
Legal Notes
Free access is reported in public dive guides and no permit is noted.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Scuba is the natural fit for training, buoyancy practice and easy night dives. Expect a shallow route around stone piles, planks and mussel growth rather than big relief.
Freediving
Freediving is possible in principle because the site is shallow, but harbor traffic and mixed entry points make it more of a scuba and training site.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is feasible in calm conditions, but the site is most useful for shallow scuba, skills practice and night dives.
