This is about 1 hour with a small boat from Kristiansund, at the NW coast of Norway.
The name of the nearest island is called Hestøya (Horse Island). The dive site is sheltered from the worst weather, but it may be bit current and that does so it becomes a rich macro life. The depht you can vary from the surface to about 30-35 meters. This picture is taken in the winter when the visibility is at it`s best.
Mostly I use my own boat for diving around Kristiansund.
