Scuba diving within the Arctic Circle in the Lofoten offers an opportunity to explore the arctic fauna and flora of these pristine waters. The dive programmes are tailored to your skill level and diving qualifications, so sites are suitable for both experienced divers and beginners. You will dive among dramatic underwater scenery and learn about local marine life as you move through kelp forests and beds of algae.
During the dives you can see a variety of species, including spectacular jellyfish, urchins and starfish, as well as larger fish such as halibut, cod, wolfish and flounder. Day Tours let you choose between a single dive or a diving day with two dives, depending on how much time you want in the water.
If you have friends or family who are not certified divers, they may join the Snorkeling Trip, which runs alongside the diving programme so you can still enjoy the day together. The experience focuses on observing and appreciating the unique Arctic marine life rather than guaranteeing specific sightings.
