Why dive here
Black Watch is a wreck dive in Lofoten Islands, Norway.
The Black Watch site in Lofoten offers an intriguing dive, best suited for those comfortable with colder water and shore entries. Below the surface, you'll find a rocky seafloor with kelp forests, home to various crustaceans and an occasional inquisitive wolfish. We usually hit this spot on a calm day for the best visibility. It’s a solid option if you’re looking for a relaxed exploration rather than dramatic walls.
