Why dive here
SOLADOING is a wreck dive in Stavanger & Rogaland, Norway. Water ranges 4-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Soladoing wreck, found off Stavanger, offers a peek into Norway’s maritime history. It’s a fishing vessel, sunk back in ‘76, now resting at 40 metres. We've found it a really peaceful dive; the wreck itself is quite intact, providing a good sense of its original form as you swim around it. There's usually a good number of wrasse darting in and out of the superstructure, and we’ve often spotted the occasional cod lurking within the cargo hold. While it’s not an advanced wreck penetration dive, its depth means it's better suited for experienced divers comfortable with colder water and deeper profiles.
