About the activity

Experience the thrill of breathing underwater for the first time and enjoy the incredible marine diversity of the Norwegian Sea on this wonderful winter discover scuba diving experience in the Lofoten Archipelago from Ballstad! Located within the Arctic Circle, in northern Norway, the Lofoten Archipelago is known for its numerous islands and islets, as well as its breathtaking scenery, fjords, and diverse wildlife. Scuba diving in Lofoten is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the Arctic wilderness and discover the local wildlife without the need for previous experience.

The goal of this 3-hour diving experience in the Lofoten Archipelago is to introduce you to the sensations of scuba diving and breathing underwater during winter in the most stress-free and enjoyable environment possible! Your adventure begins at the Lofoten Diving Centre in Ballstad, where you will meet your certified scuba diving instructor. They'll distribute the dry suit, warm undergarment, mask, tank, weight belt, and fins, and tell you exactly how to set it up to ensure your safety throughout the experience.

After you've changed into your gear, your PADI-certified instructor will introduce you to the essentials of scuba diving. In addition, you'll learn about the technical equipment as the instructor briefs you on underwater diving procedures and breathing techniques. Then, you will embark on a RIB (rigid inflatable boat) boat and head out on a scenic tour toward the dive spot chosen for the day. Upon your arrival, you'll have one last equipment check and a few practice exercises before it's time to take the plunge into the Arctic waters of the Lofoten Archipelago!

You'll explore Norway's incredible marine life, in waters that will be between 2 to 5 degrees Celsius. You'll descend 6 metres (19.6 feet) under the surface with an instructor by your side the entire time. They will keep you safe as you discover Arctic flora and fauna such as kelp, starfish, sea urchins, as well as diverse species of fish, and much more! At the end of the dive, you'll return to the diving centre and change out of your scuba gear. To finish this fun-filled excursion, you'll be treated to a steaming cup of coffee or tea with your instructor. A great way to finish an amazing day in Lofoten!
