In Norway there is a secret island with an amazing history - Skarvøy!

4x Freediving World Champion and Multiple Guinness World Record Holder - Stig Severinsen - had the privilege to dive and explore the under water treasures.
Alledgedly a ship came into the bay of Skarvøy under white flag to demonstrate there were deadly sick people aboard (times of the black plague). It anchored in the middle of the bay and the local people used a rope puller to send food out to the sailors. When they finally saw no food was taken they knew everyone on board had died and set fire to the ship.

The wreck rests in about 18 feet of water and is still quite intact in some parts. Visibility was great (considering it was midsummer) and the temperature was near 20 degrees centigrade.

All in all a wonderful place - there is also a beautiful round lake on the east side of the island and wild deer and elk.

Nobody lives permanently on this island - but avid divers from the local diveclub in Farsund keep the place in shape.

A true paradise on earth...
