Polar Diving in Greenland – A Journey Beneath the Ice

If you’ve ever dreamed of diving into the unknown, nothing compares to polar diving in Greenland. Beneath the icy surface lies a magical world of vibrant marine life, sculpted ice formations, and uncharted wonder. This isn’t your typical diving trip — it’s an expedition into the heart of the Arctic, where adventure meets extremity.

Why Dive in Greenland?

Greenland’s underwater world is a pristine environment few have ever seen. Cold, clear water offers remarkable visibility, and you’ll find yourself gliding between giant icebergs, exploring submerged glacial walls, and possibly encountering unique Arctic marine life.

But this is not for beginners. Polar diving is an optional activity reserved for highly experienced divers. To participate, you must have logged at least 30 dry-suit cold water dives. Your reward? A dive experience like no other — one where every second beneath the surface is humbling and awe-inspiring.

What to Expect

  • Ice diving in Scoresby Sund, the world’s largest fjord system
  • Diving near towering icebergs and ancient glacial formations
  • A surreal and silent world that few people ever witness
  • All dives supported by a professional expedition team and safety protocols

  • Embarkation/Disembarkation: Akureyri, Iceland

More Than Diving

Even if you’re not diving, this trip is packed with exploration. From Zodiac cruises past icebergs to educational lectures from naturalists, there’s something for every adventurer.
