Muren vest in Drøbak and Vestby is a wall and drop-off site suited for intermediate divers. The topography descends from 12 metres to 22 metres, with an average depth of 17 metres. Divers should expect moderate currents and plan for a drift dive along the structure. Visibility typically ranges between 5 and 10 metres. Access is by boat only, and divers must remain vigilant regarding boat traffic at the surface. Due to the variable water temperatures between 4 and 18 degrees Celsius, appropriate thermal protection is required. Deploy a surface marker buoy before ascending and maintain close proximity to the wall throughout the dive.
