Snorkelling or Diving?

Novermber 2002 Skrovkjosen Norway

Marine life, wrecks and 24 hour daylight ... what more could a diver ask for!

With crystal clear waters and enjoying the pleasant temperature of the Gulf Stream, the Arctic fjords are a diver’s paradise! An abundance of species and inquisitive marine life often leads to close up encounters of a different kind!

Bekkenesholmen Island, Norway’s first nature reserve, lies at the mouth of Skrovkjosen fjord and makes an excellent diving ground. The immediate area is littered with virtually unexplored dive sites that provide a safe haven for sea life.

For those divers interested in historical wrecks, sunken vessels from the World War ll battle for naval supremacy at Narvik lie in the neighbouring fjord. Many of these wrecks are still intact and are accessible to divers of all levels. There is something here for everyone, experienced or not!

For divers brave enough to dive in the Arctic Circle November to January you will experience the dive of a lifetime, underwater and close to the world’s top ocean predator, the killer whale! Witness one of the most moving and impressive sights observing these magnificent creatures as they hunt their prey. A holiday never to be forgotten!

Cylinders and weights can be provided, however groups booking diving holidays should ensure they have requested diving equipment if necessary.

Make the most of your holiday and enjoy diving from our private quay. Alternatively a 6.3m Humber Ocean Pro RHIB makes a comfortable diving platform for diving adventures further afield.

Powered by a 140 horse power fuel injected engine, the RHIB can carry parties of up to 8 divers with equipment.

Fitted with state of the art electronic navigation and communications equipment, the Ocean Pro provides a stable and reliable means of exploring the fjords in the safe hands of an experienced skipper. To ensure maximum safety, all non-diving passengers are equipped with life jackets or immersion suits.
