Why dive here
Helikopterplassen is a dive in Stavanger & Rogaland, Norway. Water ranges 4-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
Helikopterplassen is a solid shore dive, easy to access and popular with local divers for good reason. The site offers a gentle slope leading to deeper water, often holding critters like crabs, blennies, and the occasional ling. Visibility can be a bit variable, but on a good day, it’s a great spot for an easy afternoon dive or a photography session with smaller macro subjects. We'd suggest it for newer divers building confidence or anyone looking for a relaxed, straightforward plunge.
Safety Notes
