Finnish Lapland Adventures

Lake Inari by Boat

Come to experience the unique underwater world of Lake Inari, Finland's third-largest lake and one of Lapland's most pristine diving destinations.

What makes Lake Inari special?

Lake Inari spans over 1,000 square kilometers of pristine Arctic water, reaching depths of up to 92 meters in certain areas. The lake's exceptional water clarity, often exceeding 15-20 meters visibility, creates underwater conditions that rival tropical destinations. Fed by mountain streams and protected within the sub-Arctic environment, the lake maintains remarkable purity year-round.

The underwater terrain features dramatic drop-offs, submerged rock formations, and varied bottom compositions from sandy areas to granite boulder fields. 

Midnight Sun Diving

During peak summer months, the sun never sets above the Arctic Circle, providing constant natural lighting for diving activities. This phenomenon allows for dive scheduling at any hour, whether early morning, afternoon, or traditional "night" hours - all with full daylight conditions.

The continuous daylight eliminates the usual time pressures of traditional diving schedules. Surface intervals can extend naturally without concern for losing daylight, and multiple dive sites can be explored in what would traditionally be a single diving day.


Ice Diving

Water temperatures remain relatively stable at 2-4°C throughout winter, actually warmer than many cold-water diving destinations. The thermal layer beneath ice provides consistent conditions without the temperature fluctuations experienced in open water during winter months.

Entry and exit through precisely cut holes in the ice requires specialized techniques and safety protocols. Multiple entry points are prepared for safety, with clear procedures for emergency ascent and surface support. The controlled environment allows for predictable diving conditions once safety procedures are established.

Ice diving requires Advanced Open Water certification and dry suit experience due to the specialized nature of the environment. Comprehensive briefings cover emergency procedures, buddy protocols, and communication methods specific to overhead environment diving. 

Northern Lights Diving

Northern lights are most visible from September through March, with peak activity occurring during the darkest winter months. The extended darkness of polar night, combined with clear skies common in Lapland's inland areas, creates optimal conditions for aurora viewing.

The Northern Lights appears as green, purple, and occasionally red curtains of light moving across the dark sky. These natural light displays create a dramatic contrast with the underwater environment and can be observed during surface intervals between dives. 

Aurora activity is unpredictable and depends on solar activity, clear skies, and darkness levels. 

Dry Suit Training in Winter Conditions

Master cold-water diving techniques in Lapland's winter environment. Dry suit diving extends your diving season year-round, allowing comfortable exploration of Finland's pristine waters even during the coldest months when water temperatures approach freezing.

Cold-weather dry suit diving requires specialized techniques for equipment handling and buoyancy management. Thicker undergarments needed for winter conditions affect weighting requirements and buoyancy characteristics. Pre-dive equipment checks become more critical as cold temperatures can affect regulator performance and suit seals.
