The Weather Islands in the Skaggerak Sea have their peek season during September with water temperatures ranging from 17 to 23 degree Celsius and more than 20 metres visibility. These optimal underwater photo conditions are topped with interesting sea creatures such as, giant lobsters, seals and amazing critters. With some luck you can even capture the almost extinct dogfish (an up to 1m sized shark) on camera. Many people are not aware that the Skaggerak hosts more different species than the Red Sea. Some specimen are unexpectly colourful.
