About Stamsund Kelp Forest

A reef dive. It goes down to 14 m. You get in from the shore. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces S: swell from the S reaches it, and wind from the N blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 4°C in March, its coldest month (drysuit), and 13°C in August, its warmest (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit). The town to stay in is Stamsund.
