Why dive here
Røst Reef is a reef dive in Lofoten Islands, Norway. Water ranges 3-15°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Røst Reef, off Norway's Lofoten Islands, offers a unique cold-water coral experience. Here, divers descend onto a reef dominated by delicate soft corals, often swaying gently with the currents. We’ve found it’s a good spot for experienced drysuit divers keen to explore a different kind of reef environment, far from tropical waters.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 9°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
