Now you have a rare opportunity to dive into two WWII wrecks the Fernedale and Parat, at the same dive. In December 1944, the German freighter Fernedale ran aground, as a result consequently, the rescuing steamer Parat was called in to help…

Unique Twin Wrecks

Most importantly, the next morning, allied aircraft discovered the ships and shot them into flames. Therefore, Fernedale and Parat today share the same destiny. Parat, with a length of 30 meters, sank first, settling at a depth of 45-60 meters most notably the giant Ferndale followed her four hours later into the deep, besides that just missing smashing into the smaller vessel by just four feet! As a result, the wreck dive offers a perfect dive profile from 60 to 7 meters, suitable for both technical and sports divers.

Huge dimensions

With a length of 116 meters and a width of 16 meters, Ferndale weighed 4.302 GRT. After the war, as a result of the sinking, the bow and foreship were salvaged, most notably leaving the midship and stern untouched. Ferndale was built in 1925 in Germany and was owned by the Norwegian shipping company Glittre AS. The German invasion of Norway was in 1940, so she was taken over by the Kriegsmarine to be used as a supply ship.
