Olavsgapet, just outside Stavanger, offers a straightforward dive into Norwegian waters. We’ve found the site best suited for divers comfortable with shore entries and temperate conditions. Expect to see some kelp forests along the rocky slopes and the usual suspects hiding within them, like crabs and small fish. It’s a solid local spot for a quiet dive, nothing too dramatic, but always good to get wet.
