Why dive here
Skibotn is a dive in Lofoten Islands, Norway. Water ranges 3-15°C, warmest July, August, September.
Skibotn offers a unique cold-water experience in the Lofoten Islands. We found plenty of wrasse and flatfish here, moving slowly through the kelp forests. It's an easy shore entry, making it a good spot for divers looking to get wet without much fuss, particularly those keen on macro life in cooler conditions.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 9°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
