Staberhuk is a Fehmarn shore site right beside the naval station, with an unpaved car park and a short walk down a natural-stone staircase to the beach. The water is only about 4 to 5 m deep, and shore dives here meet little or no current, which makes it a simple, shallow Baltic dive.
Where it is and how deep
54.4028° N, 11.3112° EApproximate position — the dashed circle shows where the site lies; your operator's briefing has the mooring.
The dive
After a few small rocks in the shallows, broad sand flats and seagrass meadows run to the south. To the north lie several thickly overgrown rocks where algae and mussels have settled and fish and crabs like to stay. The depth holds at about 4 to 5 m.
