On 9 April 1940 Odin was hit by German shells and sunk off Narvik. Only 4 of the crew survived the disaster. Today, the wreck of the Odin lies on the seabed off Narvik and forms a historical monument to the Second World War.

The British steamship Romanby was anchored in Narvik harbour when she was hit by a torpedo from a British destroyer during the second naval battle between the German destroyers and the Allied forces on 10 April 1940 and sank.

Three german WWII destroyers in one dive! Z21 Willhelm Heidkamp, Z22 Anton Schmidt and Z17 Dieter von Roeder were moved to this location after the war to be out of the way in the harbour. Heidkamp and Schmidt are very close and Dieter is about 20 meters away from Heidkamp.

M/S Neuenfels was a German ore carrier anchored in Narvik harbour to load ore. M/S Neuenfels is the largest wreck in Narvik harbour with a length of 143m and a width of 18m.The diving depth is between 14 and 28 metres, which gives the diver a long time to explore the wreck.

On April 9th 1940 the German destroyer group entered the Ofoten fjord and after sinking the PS Eidsvold the battle came to PS Norge deep in the harbour. The first two salvoes missed, but the last struck Norge midships, and she sank in less than one minute, her propellers still turning.

Stråssa stands at a bottom depth of approx. 26m, but rises up to 14 metres. The sights on the wreck are many. You can swim through the fine gullies on the sides of the bridge and the engine room, you can also swim into the engine room and see the two large diesel engines sticking up

Martha lies at a depth of 28 meters right next to Stråssa. In the same way as on all cargo ships in the port of Narvik, the superstructures have been removed here too, but there is still plenty to see.

Künne was disabled during the first battle, but was repaired in time to fight in the second battle until she had exhausted her ammunition. Afterwards the ship had to be scuttled to prevent her capture.

Z2 George Thiele took part in both battles of Narvik on April 9th and 13th 1940. During the second battle Thiele protected 4 damaged german destroyers before running aground in the Rombak fjord. Thiele is visible on the surface and the stern rest at 52 meters depth.

Wreck of a German Seaplane. The plane is a bit broken up but most of the details are still there. The left ving is on top of the plane body which can be confusing before you realize it.
