Cold water diving in Greenland is only done with PADI OWA certified diving instructors as guides
THE DIVE THAT BUILDS CHARACTER
Diving in the Arctic demands strength of character because the environment under the ocean surface requires the diver’s full attention. However, if cold water diving is something you would like to do with PADI OWA certified divers, who know the secrets of the fiord system, then a surprising world awaits you with places never before seen by a diver.
The flora and fauna under the ocean surface can only be described as different – even a bit strange – with catfish and lumpsuckers, forests of seaweed and odd looking sea cucumbers all vying for attention. There is a reason why cold water areas biologically are the most prolific areas in the world only surpassed by the coral reefs.
DIVING NEXT TO ICEBERGS
Diving under the ice is a specialty in East Greenland where Travellodge and Northern Explorer have found the best places in the area by Tasiilaq, combining blue icebergs with coral diving, ice caves and accommodation on land in huts in the fiord.
A surprising world of pristine dives await.

DIVING DURING WINTER TIME IN GREENLAND
If diving, to get down to a Greenlandic shipwreck or by icebergs, is not enough to feed your appetite for adventure then diving during winter time would be your next move.
Diving in ice filled waters and from holes in the ice is an on-the-edge event, but because the water temperature in the Davis Strait is much the same all year, your diving experience won’t feel any colder during winter, than it does in summer.
Winter diving, on the other hand, offers an almost surreal swirling of lights under the ice, and you will most likely pause for a moment, when back on deck again, taking in the view of the snow clad mountains along the shoreline.
