Best for intermediate divers, 12-24m, boat entry, mild current.
The Narvik Harbor Wrecks consist of multiple vessels sunk during World War Two, resting on the seabed in a fjord. Divers can explore these historical structures at depths ranging from 12 to 24 metres, with an average depth of 18 metres. Access is strictly by boat. Conditions include mild currents and visibility between 10 and 30 metres. A halocline is frequently encountered in the water column, which may cause visual distortion. Due to the deteriorating state of the hulls, divers must be cautious of entanglement risks near open hatches and debris. Water temperatures are cold, averaging 4°C, and a drysuit is essential for all dives.
