Plongée à Lofoten Islands — Norway
Lofoten offers diving in Arctic Norway's stunning fjord scenery — orca snorkeling from October to January, massive kelp forests, and the possibility of diving under the Northern Lights. The Gulf Stream keeps water surprisingly 'warm' for the latitude, and the sea life includes wolffish, king crabs, and dense cod aggregations.
