    Antarctica remains the last vast wilderness on earth. A continent encircled by pack

    ice, huge tabular icebergs and covered with an ice sheet miles deep. A beautiful

    mysterious place, enticing explorers, adventurers and dreamers over the decades.

    We travel to the Antarctic Peninsula in February - March with the best chances for

    Whales and Leopard Seals and clear visibility.

    Not just ice but an amazing underwater world with an interesting marine life like

    Giant Isopods, Worms, Sea Spiders, colourful Sea Stars, Anemones, fearless Seals

    and jumping penguins. The d iversity of benthos with the rays of sunlight create an

    overwhelming and ever-changing spectrum of colours.

    We take our time to explore the Kelp walls, Sea-Snails, Sea Butterflies, many Brittle

    Stars, various Antarctic fish, Shrubby Horse-tails, jelly-fish, Sea-Urchins, Starfish and

    krill, and appreciate what only a few divers have seen before you.

    The Arctic is a place where everything seems bigg er, glaciers mirror the sunset,

    setting fire to mountain tops, and nothing can prepare the traveller for his or her

    first sight of the indisputable King of the Arctic on the sea ice: the Polar Bear. The

    beautiful surroundings of the Spitsbergen Archipelago is a paradise for all, divers,

    adventurers, naturalists and photographers with its amazing array of colours,

    moods and diverse wildlife.

    The opportunity to be in the company of Walrus hauling out on an ice floe, watching

    whales, seals and Polar Bears, and cruise around in our zodiacs between brilliant

    white icebergs and ice floes will amaze you with awe.

    The marine ecosystems around Svalbard are diverse and contain many beautiful,

    spectacular and interesting species, which are not generally known. Colourfull

    Seastars, Brittle Stars, Nudibranches, Sea Snails, Crabs, beautiful Comb Jellies and

    many more. We visit the Arctic in the Northern summer season June till October,

    taking advantage of the long hours of daylight when temperatures are not severe.

    We charter small ice-strengthened expedition vessels for our unique expeditions to

    the Polar regions. Our trips vary from 10 12 days offering 2 dives per day, weather

    and ice permitting.

    Though diving is the priority on our expeditions, photography is also an important

    element of our programme, for divers as well as non-divers. Underwater as well as

    topside. We always have a zodiac available for the non-divers that join us for an

    excellent photography experience.

    We bring well known professional photographers on our trips who offer photography

    workshops and assist you with technical tips on how to make great images. Our

    medical doctor is specialized in diving and first aid emergencies in diving incidents.

    POLAR DIVING

    Our unique diving expeditions take us to the most remote regions in the world; The

    Arctic and Antarctica.

    The common perception is that the Polar waters are so cold, (between -1.9C - 0C), it

    is absent of life. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Antarctica and the Arctic have

    one of the richest marine environments in the world, full of surprises . T he creatures

    found there are colourful and astonishing, offering many opportunities for stunning and

    unique images.

    Waterproof Expedition is the only polar dive operator where diving and (underwater)

    photography is a priority on the trip. These voyages are not for beginners, youll have to

    be an Advanced Open Water diver and must be familiar with cold water diving and dry

    suit diving with at least 20 dry suit dives.

    We know from experience that running a dive operation in these remote regions takes a

    lot of work and specific knowledge. Our dive operation is organized by experts who have

    experienced many extreme situations in the field and who are trained to search out the

    best opportunities for divers, taking into account the unpredictable weather and ice

    conditions. We take Polar diving very seriously and maintain the highest level of safety

    in combination with quality diving and great photography opportunities.
