Heikendorf

Heikendorf is a small coastal town in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, located along the Baltic Sea near Kiel. It serves mainly as a gateway for shore-access and day trips to nearby dive sites along the Baltic coast. With a modest number of local dive centers and a handful of accessible shore dives and pier dives in the area, it can be a practical base for divers exploring northern Germany. Visibility and conditions vary seasonally, and the diving scene is more about local training and convenient access from Kiel than world-class sites.
