Eckernförde – mole & artificial reef
Right across the road from the Tauchen & Meer base in Eckernförde, you enter from a sandy beach and drop onto a seagrass meadow at about 3 m. The dive area is bounded by the long outer mole, whose underwater part is steel sheet piling with window-sized openings that let you swim under the pier among overgrown piles, often with large herring schools in the open water. At the mole head a collection of objects found on the bottom has been set up, and the deepest point is about 10 m. North-east of the entry, past a mussel-covered pipe triangle at 6.5 m, lies the artificial reef built by the town (2007): towers of stacked concrete elements at 7–7.8 m where the base has seen porpoises chasing cod, lumpfish and nudibranchs.
