About This Dive Spot

Vinsjen is a deep dive area near a course platform, with a point of interest around 36 m. A line inside a drop-off can be followed for about 51 m to reach a winch, located a few meters below a barge. The winch area is known for encounters with troll crabs, especially at slightly greater depths. In winter, colder temperatures at depth can bring more marine life activity than in the shallows.
