| Spitsbergen - scuba diving in the kingdom of the polar bear |
| 
Do you really want to dive where no one has dived before? Here is your chance to dive in an untouched wilderness, the kingdom of the polar bear: Spitsbergen.
In this unique environment humans are just visitors; whales, walruses, and polar bears are its most conspicuous inhabitants. | 
In the Svalbard archipelago (Spitsbergen is part of it), dry land appears austere and forbidding: 60 percent of the land is covered with ice and less than 10 percent has any vegetation. However, the waters around the Svalbard archipelago are amongst the richest on earth. Once you dip beneath the surface you enter as if through a mirror and into a different world: gliding past sheer walls covered with soft coral and anemones, flying across a magic flower garden you are joined by thousands of silvery fish, and strange translucent creatures (comb jellies and pteropods) flashing fluorescent hair, dancing in the sapphire blue water.
Except for the first and the last night of your holiday, which is spent in Longyearbyen, you will stay on a liveaboard. She has a valid certificate for passengers transport as required by the Norwegian Ship Control Authority for the waters around Svalbard and is equipped with VHF, MF and HF radio, radar, autopilot, depth sounder, GPS, and a rifle with ammunition to scare off polar bears.
During your stay you will get to dive a wide variety of sites all around the western coast of Spitsbergen. Our precise route will depend on weather conditions and ice cover.
