Why dive here
With 95+ marine species recorded in the area - including seals & sea lions, sea turtles and jellyfish lake - Østmolen Dykkeplatform offers some of North Sea Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 3-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
Alright, let’s talk about Østmolen. It’s not your typical tropical getaway, but trust us, this North Sea spot has a gritty charm we really appreciate. Forget fancy corals; here, it’s all about the fascinating macro life clinging to the platform's legs and the surrounding structures. We love dropping in here, especially when the light is just right and filters through the green-blue water. You’ll spend your dive poking around the nooks and crannies, spotting Protestant crabs scuttling over the mussels, or maybe a Nine-spined Stickleback darting through the eelgrass. Keep an eye out for the North Sea Tube Anemones, they’re surprisingly elegant waving in the gentle surge. It’s a fantastic site for photographers who enjoy focusing on the smaller, often overlooked creatures. For those who appreciate the unique biodiversity of cooler waters and don't mind a bit of a current, Østmolen offers a truly different dive experience.
