The bow of the wreck is crushed, but the rear somewhat intact. You can penetrate and see the engines. The rudder and the propeller is suspended in free water at 35 meters depth, as the rear end hangs ove an drop-off. Best dived at high tide. The marine life surrounding the wreck is fantastic. There is usually buoy on the wreck.
Standing on the boat-ramp, turn almost 90 degrees to the right. There is a big, black buoy (more like a can) on the wreck. Can be hard to spot when it's choppy. For an easier spotting of the buoy walk towards the big, private peer on the right. From there you can easily spot it. It's a long swim on the surface, aprox. 100 meters, preferably use a scooter. Follow the line down as there can be a current from the surface down to 20 m. You meet the mast at approx. 20 meter and the deck at about 35. The stern rests at 47 meters and the bow goes up to about 33 meters. Wonderful wreck with big open spaces to go into, but use a line if you go in, lots of silt. Propeller and rudder intact, makes for a beautiful photo op :D The German cargo ship went down in -44, loaded with ammo and concrete and rests in an upright position. Drive past Flekkefjord and follow the signs for Abelsnes, about 8 km past Flekkefjord. Drive down to the ferry that goes to Abelsøy, park there and unload the equipment. You can go in the water from the small boat-slip, where the sign says Diving forbidden. Follow close to the shore until you can swim straight out to the buoy.
This is a nice spot close to Oslo. This wall was built to redirect ship traffic within range of the torpedo battery at Oscarsborg fortress. Worked very well at Blücher during WWII... The wall is partly open for smaller ships, and you should be aware of the current when the tide is rising/falling. Divers have died here... The spot is easy to find, and you'll have no problem parking. The wall is grown with anemones, and occasionally, you may see lobsters. Lots of Metridium senile and tru the summer it many Pollachius virens at nigh time and some Homarus gammarus. Muren is also known as Jetéen.

A narrow strait that separates a large fjord from the Atlantic ocean. This has created on of the most exiting and challenging dive sites in the world. It is the lunar tide that makes one of the strongest tidal currents in the world. Four times a day enormous amounts of water is being forced thru a 150 meter, 3 kilometre and 30 meter deep sound. At the peak of the current the rushing water creates huge swirls (10-15 meter wide) in the shallower part of the sound. The underwater world is absolute breathtaking. Massive walls dropping down to 90 metres are completely covered with all kinds of marine life. Sea anemones are clustered around as huge flowerbeds, competing to show the strongest colours. Several large Wolffish are resting on shelves on the wall after their lunch.

Jr. Lt. Ivan Giorgievich Logutov (21) was conducting a raid to Kirkenes June 17. 1944 when his squadron of twelve were engaged by eight Fw-190. Logutov's plane was however shot down by AA-fire. He landed his plane in Karpbukt and saved his life. He was later captured by german troops. Marked with a buoy, but the buoy is down because of mussels on the rope. Didn't have time to clean it. You fix? Curtis P-40 Warhawk is also known as Fighter.

Good dive site, cozy lagoon to anchor, and relax Anchor in the lagoon, swim east for gradually deeper, then keep wall to you right. At the end of dive swim north to enter the lagoon. Or start with the south exit, keep the wall to you left and end the dive gradually shallower towards the west. Cracks & crevices, variable fauna. Very nice. Can be exposed with weather from east&south
