Liveaboard Diving in Norway
Every year, from the end of October to mid-January, the icy waters of Troms and Finnmark in northern Norway become the stage for the world's largest gathering of orcas. This remarkable phenomenon is driven by the migration of enormous herring shoals into the fjords, attracting not only up to 60 orcas at a time but also humpback whales, eager to feast on the abundant food supply.
Embarking on an orca expedition in this remote part of Norway is an adventure like no other. Without the need for a diving license, enthusiasts have the unique opportunity to come face-to-face with these magnificent animals in their natural habitat. Our expeditions are carefully designed to follow the orcas closely, observing their playful interactions and feeding behaviors in a respectful and non-intrusive manner.
When conditions permit, the truly brave can slip into the frigid waters to swim alongside these gentle giants. To float in the silence of the Norwegian fjords, accompanied by the orcas and their haunting calls, is an experience that touches the soul, leaving an indelible mark on the heart of every adventurer
When To Go Diving in Norway
The optimal time to join our orca expeditions is from late October through mid-January, aligning with the herring migration that draws these predators to the Norwegian fjords. During this period, the water temperature can be as low as 4°C to 6°C (39°F to 43°F), demanding appropriate thermal protection for those brave enough to enter the water. Visibility varies, often extending up to 15 meters (49 feet), providing clear views of the underwater spectacle
