#1 - Saltstraumen
Norway, Nord-Noreg
A narrow strait that separates a large fjord from the Atlantic ocean. This has created on of the most exiting and challenging dive sites in the world. It is the lunar tide that makes one of the strongest tidal currents in the world. Four times a day enormous amounts of water is being forced thru a 150 meter, 3 kilometre and 30 meter deep sound. At the peak of the current the rushing water creates huge swirls (10-15 meter wide) in the shallower part of the sound. The underwater world is absolute breathtaking. Massive walls dropping down to 90 metres are completely covered with all kinds of marine life. Sea anemones are clustered around as huge flowerbeds, competing to show the strongest colours. Several large Wolffish are resting on shelves on the wall after their lunch.
