Læsø Nordvest Rev - North Sea Coast
Jean Bart Reef offers a pleasant drift over a healthy coral landscape, not too deep, making it a good choice for those wanting to relax into a dive. We usually see plenty of smaller reef fish here, things like banded blennies peeking from crevices, and cero mackerel often dart through the bluer water just off the reef. If you're into macro life, keep an eye out for the various periwinkles and small shells tucked into the coral. It’s a solid option for a second dive of the day, or for newer divers getting comfortable with Caribbean currents.
