About This Dive Spot
The Triangle is an inner Fiord dive site characterized by a combination of rocky shorelines and sandy bottoms, alongside steep wall diving. A notable feature is a steep drop-off that hosts one of the largest black coral trees in the Fiord, located at a depth of approximately 18 meters, which has several carpet shark eggs attached. Divers can expect a thick layer of surface freshwater, resulting in darker underwater conditions. Marine life includes spiny seadragons, seven gill sharks, dogsharks, variable nudibranchs, wellington nudibranchs, and numerous tube anemones.
