The Norwegian Wreck is a shore-accessible wreck dive located 100 metres off the coast of Tarifa, Spain. Resting at depths between 15 and 20 metres, the structure functions as an artificial reef. Divers typically experience visibility ranging from 5 to 10 metres. While the site is suitable for intermediate divers, it requires careful planning due to the proximity of the Strait of Gibraltar. Although currents are generally mild, they can become strong with little warning. Divers should assess tidal conditions before entry and plan their dive to work with the flow. Water temperatures fluctuate between 16C and 19C throughout the year.

Despite the mild baseline current, the Strait of Gibraltar can push strong flow through with little warning, so check tidal conditions before you kit up and plan your dive to work with the current rather than against it. Facilities are not confirmed on site, so arrange air fills and any other support in Gibraltar before heading out.
