Sud America VIII

The wreck of the tugboat 200 ton Sud America VIII is found from 10-20 meters depth. The wreck is broken in two pieces, but in a relatively good condition despite the age and the explosion that must have occurred when she went down. Both the bridge and the chimney can still be seen by the wreck. As the tidal currents in the region are strong, the dive site is exposed to heavy current, and the visibility can from time to time be quite poor. But with the rights conditions the visibility can be very good, especially during the winter. A bit north of Tromso city.
