White Sea diving

This destination is obviously not known as a diving destination, and yet Russia — more precisely the White Sea, northeast of St Petersburg — will delight the most adventurous divers. The journey itself is already an adventure: via St Petersburg or Moscow, or even Kuusamo, by plane or by train, access is long and difficult. This sea is an extension of the Arctic Ocean; summer is very short, and ice appears as early as October, not melting until May.

Your ice diving trip in the White Sea runs only from mid-February to mid-April. The experience is unique! Flawless organisation, the kindness and professionalism of the team, and the raw, wild nature will make your diving holiday a remarkable and unforgettable experience.

From this environment, cold and hostile at first sight, emerges a human warmth and an underwater life of great richness. You will come back free of your everyday stress, with the feeling of having lived through something exceptional!

You will be able to admire fantastic ice formations, with caverns and ice walls, as well as an incredibly colourful fauna. 

The White Sea is a wild place inhabited by a diverse fauna: harp seals and, above all, the white whale (or Beluga), which comes here to breed and raise its young.

Underwater, life is rich: soft corals, nudibranchs, sponges, starfish, crabs, shrimp, anemones, sea urchins, cod, perch, wolffish, flounder, and many more...
