Why dive here
STAVFJORD is a wreck dive in Stavanger & Rogaland, Norway. Water ranges 4-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Stavfjord is a fascinating dive for those who appreciate a good wreck story. This cargo vessel, which went down in 1993 with a considerable amount of dynamite and percussion caps, now rests upright in a manageable 6m of water. We've found the deck to be particularly interesting, with a surprising amount of soft coral growth draped over the old superstructure. Though the cargo was eventually salvaged, you can still get a real sense of its past, and we often spot cod and pollack darting through the openings. It's a shallow, accessible wreck, perfect for a relaxed exploration.
