Diving in Greenland

Explore diving in Greenland

Imagine unspoilt waters with great visibility, constantly changing scenery of icebergs and inlets that have never been dived before. The ice is sensationally beautiful, with a deep, glacial-blue coloring and golf-ball patterning. No iceberg is alike with some hundreds of feet tall.

Diving in Greenland offers clear waters with icebergs, historic shipwrecks, strange plant life and action-packed dives at the mouth of a fiord or bay. 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.

When to dive in Greenland

The prime season for scuba diving in Greenland is June to September, when fjords thaw, visibility peaks, and Arctic marine life is most active. During these months water temperatures generally stay just above freezing, and dives among icebergs and kelp walls are spectacular. Off-season and winter diving is possible — including under-ice dives — but requires specialised training and equipment. Careful seasonal planning is essential for a safe and rewarding Greenland diving adventure.
