Norway Expeditions
For the dedicated and adventurous diver, Jane'R' can get you to wrecks other divers never see. You can be actively involved in the research and planning & team work essential in expeditions of this type! These 7 or 10 day trips may be extended to include Northern & Southern Norway, Denmark, or the Baltic and other destinations of your choice. The skipper has 36 years diving experience, with 14 years specialising in diving the wrecks in this region. By popular request from regular divers, Jane'R' has been diving her way North from Bergen to Narvik, Lofoten, Tromso, Northcape, and Kirkenes at the Russian border.
At Narvik there are numerous WW2 warships and merchant ships, the result of two naval battles. Jane'R' is licensed to dive at these exclusive sites. At Lofoten there are many islands with some of the best scenery in Norway. Every year Jane'R' discovers new wrecks in these areas we have now located 114 the last 14 years. Many intact wrecks are near the surface whilst the remainder of the wreck is at a gradual incline suitable for novices and experts alike with no special equipment being necessary. The water temperatures is similar to Scotland, 15'C surface and around 8'C at depth.
Scenic diving is everywhere with prolific marine life and unfamiliar species on walls and wrecks. Almost continuous daylight presents excellent photographic opportunities above and below water. The weather at this time of year is usually more stable than the UK adding to your enjoyment. There is no fixed itinerary whilst cruise-diving the fjords, with so many sites to explore your involvement is most welcome. Diver or non-diver you will be impressed with this beautiful country.
The convenience of diving from the Jane'R' gives you the opportunity to dive numerous sites every day. We pass interesting sites all the time that need checking out. As divers we recognise the benefits of Nitrox; O2 is now readily available from our own bank for safety & for suitably qualified divers who want to maximise their dives. When using a suitable computer, you really do see the difference. All the boats cylinders are O2 clean.
