About this dive site

This dive site is the wreck of the M/S Stråssa, resting at a bottom depth of approximately 26 meters, with its highest point rising to 14 meters. Divers can explore the intricate structure of the ship, navigating through fine gullies along the sides of the bridge and the engine room. A major highlight is the opportunity to penetrate the engine room to observe the two large, prominent diesel engines, offering a unique wreck exploration experience. The wreck provides numerous points of interest and swim-throughs for a rich underwater navigation.
The M/S Stråssa wreck is a vibrant habitat for diverse marine life. Divers frequently encounter large Cods, often seen resting on or around the wreck's structure. Various species of jellyfish can be observed drifting gracefully in the surrounding water column. Additionally, the surfaces of the wreck are covered in numerous Sea Urchins, adding to the small-scale biodiversity of the site.
While specific information on the best time to visit is not provided, diving in Norway typically offers optimal conditions from late spring through early autumn, when water temperatures are relatively milder. Due to the cold Norwegian waters, drysuits are highly recommended for divers. Experienced freedivers can enjoy the shallower sections of the wreck, particularly the areas rising to 14 meters, without needing to delve into the deeper, more complex sections.
