ALEX
Why dive here
ALEX is a wreck dive in Stavanger & Rogaland, Norway. Water ranges 4-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Alex wreck off Stavanger is a good call for divers who appreciate a relatively intact fishing vessel. She went down after a collision in 1990, settling upright at 26 metres. What we like about the Alex is how quickly she’s become a home for the local marine life – you’ll spot wrasse darting in and out of the superstructure and sometimes a grumpy monkfish tucked away. Penetration is possible for trained wreck divers, but even just finning around her deck and bridge offers plenty to see. Visibility can be a bit variable here, so we’d suggest checking local reports before you head out.
