Why dive here
SELMA is a wreck dive in Stavanger & Rogaland, Norway. Water ranges 4-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
The wreck of the Selma sits in a relatively shallow spot, making it pretty accessible for most divers. She was a steamship, sunk in 1944 after an explosion, and what's left gives you a good sense of her structure, despite being classed as "dangerous." We’ve poked around her at 11 metres, seeing everything from the propeller to sections of her hull, all covered in cold-water anemones and the odd nudibranch. It's a great spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you're keen on exploring history without going too deep.
