Why dive here
Ystesteinen is a dive in Stavanger & Rogaland, Norway. Water ranges 4-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
Ystesteinen offers a typical Norwegian shore dive experience, with kelp forests giving way to a sloping rock wall. We’ve seen crab, starfish, and various small schooling fish moving through the fronds. It's a straightforward spot, good for a casual dip or to test out new gear, without any big surprises.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 14°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
