Best for advanced divers, 15-43m, boat entry, variable current.
The Z2 Georg Thiele is a German Z-class destroyer that was beached during the 1940 Battle of Narvik. Resting on a steep fjord slope, the wreck remains largely intact with depths ranging from 15 to 43 metres. Divers encounter preserved wartime hardware, hull sections, and complex overhead environments throughout the structure. Due to the depth and potential for entanglement within the deteriorating superstructure, this site is reserved for advanced divers. Access is by boat, and conditions include variable currents and visibility between 5 and 15 metres. Cold water temperatures between 2 and 10°C require the use of a drysuit with appropriate undergarments.

Cold water is a constant here regardless of season, so a drysuit with appropriate undergarments is essential rather than optional. Confirm current timing with your charter operator before descending, as fjord flow can shift the planned dive significantly.
