SS Frankenwald Wreck (Gulen)

Vestland · 7–44 m

A 122 m German freighter, voted best wreck in Norway by readers of the magazine Dykking, lying in the Gulen area of outer Sognefjord and dived from Gulen Dive Resort. The deck slopes from about 24 m down to 34 m toward the bow, while the stern rests on the sandy bottom at around 44 m, with superstructure rising as shallow as 7-20 m entirely encased in anemones and teeming with fish. It is a large, photogenic wreck suited to experienced cold-water and technical divers. The ship sank on 6 January 1940.

Z2 Georg Thiele Wreck (Narvik)

Nordland · 0–30 m

A WWII German destroyer that deliberately grounded on 13 April 1940 during the Second Battle of Narvik and now lies in Rombaksbotn at the head of Rombaken, a branch of the Ofotfjord, where parts of the bow still break the surface. The hull snapped and capsized, leaving a substantial wreck running from the shallows down a slope into deeper, dark fjord water. It is among the most popular of the many Narvik wrecks, dived in cold, often low-visibility conditions amid an underwater WWII graveyard. Several other destroyers and supply ships lie elsewhere in the Ofotfjord.
