Salmon Island

Salmon Island is a beginner-friendly dive site in the Eastern Finland lake district, located near an island traditionally associated with salmon fishing in the region's vast freshwater systems. The underwater terrain features rocky shorelines descending into deeper lake waters, with submerged boulders and fallen trees creating interesting navigation points. The cold, clean waters support populations of salmon, trout, pike, and perch. The island setting means boat access is typical, adding an element of adventure to the dive. During the Finnish summer, the combination of midnight sun, pristine lake water, and the possibility of spotting salmon makes this a quintessential Eastern Finland diving experience.
