Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Ann-Elin Synnes and her diving buddy Lilian, along with Gajir, dive the wreck of the MS Tom B at Oksøy, outside Kristiansand, Norway.0:44 The Tom B sank on 22 August 1958 after only two years of operation, striking rocks on the east side of Oksøy island while on a voyage from Bowness, Scotland to Kristiansand in rough seas with poor visibility; it came to rest at roughly 20 meters depth.2:23 Visibility on the dive is poor due to suspended particles, typical of Norwegian summer conditions — winter diving offers better clarity.3:46 Despite the wreck having lost much of its original shape, it now functions as an artificial reef supporting dead man's fingers soft coral, cuckoo wrasse, pollock, common ling, and European plaice.3:58 The dive is a first wreck dive for Ann-Elin; the group swims out from a bay near the Oksøy lighthouse.0:25 Poor summer visibility in Norwegian waters is the main limiting factor for wreck diving at this site, with winter conditions recommended for better underwater clarity.10:12
