Experience great diving in Norway!
|

Norway offers some of the cleanest and clearest waters
in Europe. Continuous coastal currents bring nutrient rich Atlantic
waters into the fjords and coastal areas, creating an extremely
rich and diverse marine environment. Diving in Norway means seeing
a vast array of marine life, and many types of underwater
topography. The cold water here supports a unique ecosystem, as
cool seas are the most productive. In addition, Norway is home to
the world's largest cold water coral reef.
Diving experiences in Norway include walls, reefs, and current
dives. Perhaps the some of the best dives are the wrecks, providing
both an artificial reef for sea life as well as a snapshot of
history. Along with an extensive marine history due to the coastal
fishing traditions, during WWII Norway was occupied by the Germans,
and many important battles took place in Norwegian waters. The
wrecks can be in fantastic condition due to the cold water,
protected from heavy seas by the islands and fjords, and the
Norwegian policy of leaving wrecks undisturbed have left many of
them with interesting artifacts.
Due to the moderate coastal climate, winter can be one of the best
times to dive in Norway, since the visibility is outstanding. There
are very few places in the world that one can ski and dive on the
same holiday. |
