Well temp at the bottom (all interesting stuf is between 81-89 meters) was 6 degrees Celcius, our dive window on the wreck itself was about 15 minutes but I didn't encounter a lot of current, I was without a scooter and then you have to pace your return to reach the deep stops in time.
@brucesterman I havent dived to her myselv, but i know the area around Blucher well. And I agree with what rebreather said. That part of the fjord, inside the Drøbak sound is quite sheltered from tide currents, so that is not a big worry.
However, apart from the currents, this is a complicated dive, and (needless to say) should only be handled by experts. To top it off, Blucher lies directly under the main shipping channel, where the traffic is heavy, esp. in the summer months.

That's one hell of a shore dive! I'd be interested to know more about the water temperatures and the tidal window. Great vis.

@brucesterman and to clearify. When i say "not a big worry", i mean ofc in relation to other wreck dives i.e. around the british coast :)
