Best for beginner divers, 3-6m, shore entry, strong current.
Alajuoksu is a shallow shore-entry site located in Finland, offering depths between 3 and 6 metres. This site is well-suited for beginner divers looking to build confidence in open water. Divers can expect visibility ranging from 5 to 10 metres. The primary environmental factor to manage at this location is a strong current, which necessitates careful planning of entry and exit points. It is recommended to time dives around slack water to mitigate the effects of the current. As there are no confirmed facilities on-site, divers should ensure all air fills and equipment requirements are managed prior to arrival.
