Why dive here
MARTHA HENDRIK FISSER is a wreck dive in Lofoten Islands, Norway. Water ranges 3-15°C, warmest July, August, September.
The *Martha Hendrik Fisser* is one of those wrecks that just grabs you. We love how she lies, upright and intact, a proper ghost from a chaotic time. Sunk by British destroyers in 1940, her story is etched into her steel. Dropping down, you’re immediately struck by her sheer scale – 118 metres long, she’s a monster of a steamship. What makes her special for us is the penetration. You can swim into holds that still feel cavernous, imagining the cargo she once carried. The triple-expansion engines are a highlight, a fantastic tangle of metal, now home to a surprising amount of life. Cod cruise the decks, bold and unafraid, while various anemones cling to every surface, adding splashes of colour to the monochrome steel. It’s a dive for those who appreciate history and don’t mind a bit of a chill; the water here is bracing, but the visibility is often phenomenal. We’d suggest a good dive light to really pick out the details inside.
