Why dive here
PARK is a wreck dive in Stavanger & Rogaland, Norway. Water ranges 4-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
PARK isn't a deep dive, sitting in just a metre of water, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's not worth the effort. This motor vessel went down in 1970 and what's left of its 44.5-metre hull now acts as a miniature reef. It’s a fascinating spot to explore for anyone who enjoys a shallow wreck, perhaps for an extended safety stop or even just a snorkel. You'll spend your time investigating the twisted metal, noting how anemones and kelp have taken hold, providing shelter for small crabs and blennies. It’s a different kind of wreck dive, more about the atmosphere and the details than penetration, and ideal for photographers looking for interesting textures and light.
