Diving in the Arctic

When you go diving in Greenland great impressions await you. It is a total experience where amazing underwater experiences are enhanced by the beauty of the sights at the surface.

Having dived at a wrecked ship that only very few people have ever seen, you can hang around the surface and watch a mountainous landscape with ice and snow or you can marvel at an oversized iceberg.

That is why diving in the Arctic is always a surprising experience offering unexpectedly lush environments below the surface and great visibility in the crystal clear waters.

While diving you often see catfish, lumpsuckers, fiery red sea cucumbers, and small forests of the seaweed Laminaria saccharina with leaves up to 4-6 meters in length. You can even gather Iceland scallops for dinner.
