During the Second World War, Narvik was a strategically important harbour with a heavy German presence. As a result, many ships sank and can now be found on a very diveable depth.
Dykplattformen is going way north to dive wrecks in the land of the midnight sun and we will offer two different weeks and opportunities. On 28 June to 4 July, we will offer the ”Harbour Tour”. We check in on Sunday 28 June and dive five days based in Narvik, coming back to the port every day. Check out in the morning on Saturday 4 July. On 4-11 July we will be doing the ”Harstad Tour”. We check in on 4 July, then six days of diving starting in the harbour but then moving north to Harstad for a few days of diving before returning to Narvik for the final leg. This is a special itinerary for Dykplattformen where we dive the wrecks in Narvik but also take a trip to Harstad to dive wrecks like Sirius and Dronning Maud. Check out in the morning on Saturday 11 July.
The trips are suitable for divers on all levels; recreational and technical. We will be diving wrecks on all levels from 0-90 metres depending on the participants’ levels and the weather. All participants will be offered the possibility to make two dives every day as we plan a deep dive in the morning and two shallow dives in the afternoon. Both weeks have therefore something to offer both for the recreational diver and the tech freak. All diving deeper than 30 metres on trimix, using GUE standard gases for diving.
At this time of the year, the midnight sun is up, contributing to a spectacular scenery around the dive sites. We start the weeks at Narvik War Museum to educate us a bit about the history that we will be diving, followed by a welcome BBQ. The first day we do our warm up dives on the destroyers in the harbor.
The price for the first week is 18.000SEK and for the second week 22.000SEK. This includes two dives per day on nitrox, a twin set and lead. The transfer from the railway station as well as accommodation, full board and the visit to the War Museum is also included in the price. More tanks, gas etc can be purchased in situ.
