Kjovangen Brygge: calm-day shore dive on wall and rock
Kjovangen Brygge: calm-day shore dive on wall and rock
Kjovangen Brygge is a shore dive in a sheltered bay north of Son, built around a wall west of the pier plus rock ledges and sandy bottom. The route is simple and works well for relaxed scuba or freedive sessions, with the mixed terrain and small-life activity doing most of the work. Crabs, seals, flounder, nudibranchs, and skates are part of the usual draw. Plan for a calm day if you want the easiest entry and the clearest water.

Scuba Diving
Simple shore dive with a wall west of the pier, rock formations, and sandy patches. It suits easy exploration and training dives when the bay is calm.
Freediving
Works best as a relaxed freedive on calm days near the beach and shallow rock edge; it is more about easy terrain than long swim-outs.
Snorkeling
Good for casual snorkeling close to shore in calm water, especially around the shallower beach and pier side.
