You can be one of just a handful of divers
to dive with Arctic Penguins and Leopard Seals.
It's a new frontier - and a world of incomparable beauty
.

A note from Dom

There are scientists who tell us that both the Arctic & the Antarctic may be fast disappearing, which gives all of us 
good reason to glimpse them while they are still  at their finest - and then to spread the word, based on personal experience, about why it's so important to act responsibly to protect this fragile environment. 


There are now more than 20 vessels that offer programs to the Antarctic Peninsula . . . and several that go to the
Arctic . . . but if you only venture to either destination once in a lifetime, then you want to make sure you are on
the right boat, with a small group and the best guides available. 

I've been lucky to have long-term relationships  with the operators listed on this page & I know beyond the shadow
of a doubt that I'm recommending only the best to you. 

If your interests lie strictly with  naturalist trips, you may want to choose Oceanwide Expeditions.

For dedicated diving voyages, I recommend either Waterproof Expeditions . . .  .or for the truly intrepid & avid wildlife photographers,  a trip with our friend, Amos Nachoum, on one of his heart-pounding
Big Animals Epic Wildlife Expeditions might be just the ticket

SPITSBERGEN
The Arctic is a place where everything seems bigger, glaciers mirror the sunset, setting fire to mountain tops and nothing can prepare the traveler for his or her first sight of the indisputable King of the Arctic on the sea ice: the Polar Bear.

Waterproof is offering
ten-night circumnavigations of Norway’s Svalbard archipelago and the trips are designed for both the diver and exploration-oriented non-diver, as well.  All excursions provide incomparable experiences above and below water.
