About This Dive Spot
PS Norge is a notable wreck dive site located at coordinates 68.424300, 17.401200. The vessel sank on April 9, 1940, after being struck by artillery fire during a naval engagement in the Ofoten fjord. The ship went down rapidly, in less than a minute, with its propellers still in motion. The wreck is characterized by intricate details both on the structure and the seabed surrounding it. Diving on PS Norge was restricted until 2021, allowing for a unique exploration of the wreck's condition and marine life that has since begun to inhabit the site.
