Saltstraumen boasts the world's strongest tidal current. This immense movement of water creates an incredibly nutrient-rich environment, supporting a dense concentration of marine life, from massive kelp forests to huge schools of cod and halibut.
Features
A narrow strait with extremely powerful tidal currents. Dives must be timed for slack tide. The current fuels incredible growth of kelp forests and attracts massive schools of fish like cod and coalfish, as well as wolf fish and anemones.
