🇳🇴 Norway

Norway is a cold-water scuba diving destination, with access to North Atlantic and Arctic conditions along a long, rugged coastline. Diving is mostly sea-based, including areas along the North Sea, the Kattegat, and the Skagerrak, as well as farther north where conditions can be colder and more variable. Expect low to moderate water temperatures, seasonal differences in daylight and surface conditions, and an emphasis on boat diving around exposed coastlines, islands, and sheltered fjord areas. Norway can also be suitable for divers looking for wreck and drift-style experiences, but conditions such as current, swell, and visibility can change quickly with weather. Plan your trip around the local dive center schedules, bring proper thermal protection for cold water, and be ready for a “site-by-site” approach rather than assuming uniform conditions across the whole country.
