Søbadet

The name "Søbadet" makes sense, because there is a nice wooden building in front that seems to breathe some history. Some people from further away may just refer to the site as "Middlefart", because it is the biggest village closeby. The old sea bath has a beach that is framed by two chains of buoys at either side. Sometimes the current is so strong, that the buoys will literally be dragged under water (!). At the same time, you may experience currents into the opposite direction at higher depths, which comes in handy for "taxi-diving". But be aware that the current may not be helpful at times and also may get you short on air very quickly if you try to go against it, especially at greater depths. There are actually two "steps" (drops of 2-4 meters each) which are quite fun to follow, as current(s) permit. There is plenty of marine life at these steps. Dont bother to go much deeper, because there is not much to see and you might miss the buoy-chains that you will tell you when to stop and go the other way. The greater area is certainly worth to consider a real drift dive over several kilometers escorted by a boat. We have seen people being picked up right in front of this site, so there must be some offerings to that extend. The diving is very enjoyable here, but certainly not for the faint of heart ! Snoghøj, Fredericia. Søbadet is also known as "Seabath".
