Arctic Kingdom

Arctic Kingdom was the first and is the only operator to offer full diving support in the Arctic. They are the only Arctic PADI five star dive facility. From their diving heritage in the Arctic, they have evolved and continuously strive to work with local communities, science organizations and equipment manufacturers to improve all of their arctic trips and operations. You benefit by knowing you have the top of the line equipment, people, and techniques around you at all times.

Arctic Kingdom's first expedition over a decade ago was a dive expedition to the high arctic to obtain underwater images of walrus and bowhead whales. Since then they have gone on to scuba dive with virtually every arctic animal that one can find in the arctic waters - including polar bears! They have experience diving on all types of ice - from the floe edge, alongside a grounded iceberg, through a lead, in a crack near shore, and even through seal breathing holes. They support both open circuit and rebreather divers. They know the arctic, they know the ice, and they know the animals. Let them show you this new world that only a few have seen before.

There are two types of dives you can enjoy on an Arctic Kingdom Arctic dive trip:
Dive with whales - narwhal, beluga, bowhead, humpbacks - even the Greenland Shark. Contact us if you have a specific animal you would like to dive with.

Dive around ice - be it pack ice, off the floe edge, in a crack or in a seal hole. From cathedrals halls of pack ice, pillows of shore ice rounded in gentle waves, spires of icebergs - to unknown and unidentified species found on the ocean floor through a tidal crack - you'll find yourself in a world unlike anything you've seen before.

Both types of dives are spectacular and both offer their own unique worlds and enjoyment. Most trips offer both types of dives. When the whales are not present, then you will do ice dives and vice versa. You can do as many or as little dives you as you like. Typically you'll do two dives per day.
