    The Oslofjord, sitting on its starboard side, is one of our absolute favourite wrecks in the Northeast, despite the usual green hues of the North Sea. There's just so much to poke around in. We usually drop onto the bow, which is still impressively intact, before heading along the deck towards the bridge. You can peer into the holds, often filled with inquisitive cod, and imagine the cargo she once carried. What we really love about the Oslofjord is the way the wreck has become a living reef. Anemones coat every surface, their tentacles swaying gently in the surge, and you’ll spot crab eyes peeking out from behind twisted metal. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs, too. We’ve found some real beauties clinging to the growth. It’s a dive that rewards slow exploration, letting your eyes adjust to the low light and pick out the details. Just be mindful of the currents; they can pick up, especially around the exposed parts of the wreck. It’s a solid dive for those comfortable in colder water and with a bit of wreck experience.

    Safety Notes

    Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
