Deep Norwegian platform dive for experienced divers.
Line-based deep dive outside the Svestad course platform, with a winch target in the deeper water beyond the barge and more winter life than the shallow water above.
About Vinsjen
Vinsjen is a deep Norwegian dive site outside the Svestad course platform, centered on a winch target in the deeper water beyond the barge route. It is the kind of site that rewards experienced divers who are comfortable with depth, limited visibility, and careful buoyancy rather than a casual scenic bounce. Winter dives can bring more life into the deep zone, including troll crabs and other cold-water creatures.
