Finland

Tornionsalmi

Quite steep drop, not quite a wall though.

Directly from boat

Kinissaari

This a one of the deepest spots in the Finnish lakes. The wall drops almost directly to 80 m (or so they say ...). I have gone down to little over 30 and to that depth the wall goes down in great steps. 

Directly from boat or from the shore with landowners permission

Kinisselkä



You can get quite close to the shore, but you'll have to drive on a road marked for pedestrian access only.

Heinolanvirta

No real reason to dive here

Salonsaari. Private access from shore, otherwise boat only

Asikkala

There is a line starting from the depth of about 3 m going to a "wreck" of some machinery at the depth of 11 m, I have no idea what the machine is. From this machine another line goes down to about 24 m to another machine. 

Pulkkilanharju. Easy access, Park car next to a red shed on the west side of the road. Enter the lake on the right side of the shed.

Eteläpää

Water is quite clear and there is a nice area of water grass at the bottom of the lake starting about 150 meters NNW of the access. A lot of fish, very nice ambiance on a sunny day

Access to lake: Drive to the end of Tiilijärventie, turn left (for pedestrians only, so drive ultra carefully) after about 100 meters turn right to shore.

Iso Tiilijärvi

Nice dive site, strong current but only in the middle of the stream, flows upstream close to the other bank, so you can dive first down with the current and then back! Ask a local diver to give introduction to the site.

Verla. Access from private property, ask local divers to arrange access

Alajuoksu

Vuohijärvi

Lots of "stuff" in the bottom

Puula lake. Next to a road, place for load timber barges

Uittoproomujen lastauspaikka

Small lake that is fed from springs - thus relatively clear water. Dead trees have fallen in to the lake and there are usually small groups of fish (mainly perch) under these trees. Were nice ambiance on a sunny day. Altough access is not difficult to find, the route there may be, so it might be wise to ask a local diver to guide you there.

Ruutanalampi. Dirt road goes about 20 m from the shore, good place to park after a fairly steep hill down.
