Dykker- og Froskemannskolen (DFS) - Lofoten Islands
Dykker- og Froskemannskolen (DFS) operates out of the Lofoten Islands, a rugged landscape of granite peaks and deep fjords. This centre focuses on the unique challenges and rewards of cold-water diving in Norway’s Arctic region. We’d recommend DFS for experienced divers keen to explore kelp forests, wolfish dens, and the occasional wreck in a truly dramatic setting. Come prepared for chilly water and potentially brisk surface conditions.
