Sukelluksissa

Sukelluksissa is a Finnish noun form meaning “in the dives” or “during diving.” It is the inessive plural form of sukellus, the act or experience of diving, formed with the plural stem sukellukset and the inessive suffix -ssa/-ssä. The word is used to indicate location or state within multiple dives.

In terms of grammar, sukellukset is the plural nominative of sukellus, and adding the inessive suffix -ssa/-ssä yields sukelluksissa. This form is common in descriptive or narrative contexts referring to conditions, events, or observations occurring during several dives. It is not used to describe a single dive; for that purpose the singular inessive sukelluksessa would be appropriate, while plural contexts use sukelluksissa.

Usage notes include its appearance in travel, diving reports, and naturalistic descriptions of underwater activities. It can pair with verbs and adjectives to convey what happens or is observed during dives, and it can be combined with others forms to discuss equipment, environments, or experiences associated with multiple dives. For example: Sukelluksissa näimme monia kirkkaan värisiä kaloja. Sukelluksissa käytetyt varusteet vaativat säännöllistä huoltoa.
