Visit Plura - Lofoten Islands
Forget what you think you know about diving in Norway. The team at Visit Plura are the real deal, operating out of the Plura Valley, a place that feels less like a dive centre and more like a secret society for intrepid divers. We love that they don't just offer trips, they offer pilgrimages into the earth. This isn't your average reef hopping; Plura is for the diver who craves the challenge and eerie beauty of true cave diving, or the stark, silent world beneath the ice. Our favourite time to go is late winter, when the landscape is hushed under a blanket of snow and the ice formations are at their most dramatic. Imagine the sound of your own breath, amplified by the silent rock, or the creak of the ice as you descend. It’s an experience that really gets under your skin. They’ll sort you out with all the gear, and their local knowledge of the Plura cave system is second to none, which is crucial when you’re exploring overhead environments. We’d suggest you book well in advance, especially for their specialised cave packages; these guys are popular for good reason.
