TaMOs diver also active during the holidays

Our divers do go diving during the holidays. It is self evident that the winter time is not the nicest season for divers, but there are reasons for a dive in 5 to 6° Celsisus cold water. This time it was a small cnidarian, that can only be found at a single place in the Kiel fjord.

stalked jellyfish (stauromedusae)Our divers were not afraid of the low water temperature, while they decided to go for a dive at the second day of christmas holiday. In the small bay at the western end of the Kiel fjord  it is possible to find eelgras (Zostera marina) all year round. This bay is only 1.8 to 2.5 m deep, but according to the eelgrass conditions, a special species can be found there. The stalked jellyfish do look very nice and more pictures can be found in our gallery.

Visibility at the second day of christmas was not very good. The direct wave exposure suspended a lot of sediment and that was the reason we could shoot only few pictures. Those who want to see stalked jellyfish in real life only need to go for a shallow dive between Bülk and Strande.
