Arctic Dive!

Guess where the Northern-most diving school in the world is? Greenland!

Bo Lings runs a PADI center in Sisimiut, 70 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, called Arctic Dive.  The pictures of the dives are absolutely stunning – especially considering you can go in the midnight sun.  But even at the height of summer, the water can be as cold as 0 degrees Celsius (which I thought meant frozen, but apparently not).  You have to dive in a dry suit, and the only part of the body that is exposed are small parts of your face.

The highlights of diving up around Sisimiut and Kangerlussuaq, are two Danish ship wrecks and of course,  Icebergs, which as you know are 8x bigger under the surface of the water.  In order to dive you need a cold water certificate and experience diving in a drysuit.  Bo is a certified instructor and can give courses.  If you are a diving enthusiast – I think checking the Arctic region off your list could be pretty cool.

Otherwise, Bo also runs two remote fishing camps where a complex river flow means abundant and delicious Arctic Char.  Excellent for fathers everywhere, check it here.
