About This Dive Spot

Vinsjen is located just outside the course platform, reaching a depth of 36 meters. Divers can find an anonymous line a few meters below the barge, which leads 51 meters out to a winch. This area is known for the presence of troll crabs, which are more commonly found at greater depths. During winter months, the cooler temperatures at this depth attract a wider variety of marine life compared to the shallower waters.
