Donnier 26
Historic Narvik flying-boat wreck with a compact profile.
Boat-access Narvik wreck with readable aircraft structure, cold water, and a careful wreck-diving plan.
About Donnier 26
A Narvik wreck dive on the German Dornier Do 26A Seeadler, a flying boat that now sits on a sloping seabed in Rombaksfjord. The wreck is partly broken up, but the fuselage and wings are still readable enough to make the aircraft shape easy to follow. It is a cold-water boat dive for divers who want a historic wreck, compact navigation, and a more disciplined fjord plan than a casual scenic swim.
