Best for intermediate divers, 10-20m, boat entry, strong current.
Sud America VIII is a wreck dive located in Tromsø, Norway, resting at depths between 10 and 20 metres. This site requires boat access and is suited for intermediate divers due to the presence of strong currents and potential entanglement hazards within the wreck structure. Visibility is highly variable, ranging from 3 to 30 metres, and water temperatures fluctuate between 4 and 11 degrees Celsius, making a drysuit essential. Divers should plan their visit around slack water to manage the current effectively. Given the significant variation in visibility and current strength, local consultation regarding conditions is recommended before diving.
