Ålesund Sportdykkerklubb
Ålesund is a cosmopolitan shore-side
town with a thriving fishing fleet. It is built across several islands
and at first glance has the appearance of a medieval fairytale city. The
original town was all but totally razed by a fire in 1904 when 800 of the
original wooden buildings were burnt down. All the replacement buildings
were constructed in the Art Nouveau style and it's this, and the narrow
cobbled streets, that give the town its colourful and almost surreal atmosphere.

The Ålesund Sportsdykkerklubb (ÅSDK) is typical of the Norwegian
dive club which is affiliated to the Norwegian Diving Federation.
The ÅSDK has a large clubhouse with self-catering
bunkroom accommodation including 6 rooms 3 or 5 beds, there is also the
possibility for up to 40 flat beds on clubhouse floors. There is
also a new compressor giving up to 300 bar, wet and dry storage, car parking,
its own quay, and a substantial 15m steel dive boat, the Hundsvaer.
