Yes, diving in the Polar Regions is not for beginners.
You need to be an Advanced Open Water diver with cold water experience and approximately 20 dry suit dives.

Because of the high salinity in the water, the Polar Oceans freeze at a lower degree. The average water temperature in the summer time is between -1.9ºC - 1ºC.

On board our Polar Dive Expeditions you will have to bring your own equipment. We provide weights, tanks and a compressor.
For more details on what kind of equipment you need to bring, please check out our section on Dive Equipment.

On our other dive expeditions some of the equipment might be provided or for rent.

We offer two dives per day, (except when crossing the Drake Passage to and from Antarctica) but the final programme of the day always depends on ice and weather conditions.

Yes ! We offer a full land-programme and will always have a zodiac ready for those explorers and non-diving travel partners who do not wish to dive, but who like to go for a long hike or take their time for topside photography. The beautiful surroundings of the Antarctic Peninsula is a paradise for all, divers, adventurers, naturalists and photographers with its amazing array of colours and moods and diverse wildlife.
The opportunity to be in the company of thousands of penguins, watching whales and seals, and cruise around in our zodiacs between brilliant white icebergs and ice floes will amaze you with awe.

The price for your ships passage includes full board (three meals per day), afternoon snacks or cake, coffee and tea.
All landings, excursions and dives (if you have paid for the dive package) by zodiac. On board lecture programme and guidance by professional and experienced leaders and dive guides.

Not included are your travel expenses like airticket and hotels. And the bar- and souvenir expenses and email/phone costs on board the ship.

In the morning the divers will have to chose between a dive or a land-excursion for that day. Sometimes, if time allows, the divers will also be able to make a short landing after the dive. It depends on the landing- and dive-site, the weather and time available.

One of strict our rules is that we don't allow divers to go deeper than than 20 mtr. / 60 ft.
The nearest medical facility and decompression chamber is a few days sailing away. We don't want divers to make a decompression or deep dive.

The common perception is that the Antarctic and Arctic waters are so cold, (between -1.9ºC - 0ºC), it is absent of life. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Polar regions have one of the richest marine environments in the world, full of surprises. The creatures found there are colorful and astonishing, offering many opportunities for stunning and unique images.

The Polar Oceans are some of the most incredible, yet difficult environments in the world to take video in or photograph. Conditions of low light, high particulate matter and surge are often combined, creating a challenge for even the most experienced of underwater photographers.
