Raftsundet - Lofoten Islands

Raftsundet offers a true Lofoten diving experience, with sheer rock walls dropping into the fjord. Expect a cool water dive, typically below 10°C, where the focus is on the dramatic topography and the hardy cold-water species that cling to the walls. We usually find kelp forests extending into the depths and a good chance of spotting wolfish, various crabs, and colourful anemones. It's a spot for experienced drysuit divers comfortable with colder temperatures and keen to explore Norway's unique underwater landscape.
