GUDRUN GISLADOTTIR (PROBABLY) - Lofoten Islands

The Gudrun Gisladottir, or what we’re pretty sure is her, sits upright at 34 metres, and it's a beauty. This isn't one of those wrecks flattened by time or storms; she went down under tow, a clean capsizing in 2002. You still get a strong sense of a working vessel, even with the nets and lines draped over everything. We love dropping down the mooring line right onto her bow, the sheer scale of the ship emerging from the deep blue. The pilothouse is still mostly intact, offering a glimpse inside, though we’d suggest a good dive light to cut through the gloom. Look out for the nudibranchs, they're prolific here, especially those bright orange *Tritonia diomedea* clinging to the railings. The visibility can be excellent, and seeing the entire 71-meter hull stretching into the distance is quite something. It’s a deep dive, so it suits experienced cold-water wreck enthusiasts who appreciate the atmospheric quiet of a ship lost at sea.
