Best for advanced divers, 10-37m, shore entry, mild current.
Vinsjen is a shore-accessible wreck and wall site located in Drøbak and Vestby, Norway. The site features a depth range of 10 to 37 metres, with an average depth of 25 metres, making it suitable for advanced divers. Divers should be prepared for cold water conditions and variable visibility ranging from 5 to 15 metres. The wreck structure presents an entanglement risk, and the presence of boat traffic requires the use of a surface marker buoy during ascent. Currents are generally mild, but the depth and environmental conditions necessitate solid buoyancy control and experience with cold-water equipment. Divers should arrive self-sufficient with all necessary gas and safety gear.
