This site is handily placed for a first or last dive out of Bergen if the weather is bad and your boat needs to travel via Herdlefjord. The wall falls vertically from the surface to great depths. The chart shows a 380m sounding very close to the shore. The wall is covered in life - sea squirts, anemones, various types of urchin, starfish, and crustaceans. The wall extends for several miles, centered around the above position, and the N end merges with the wall at Niso.
