Program
- Day 1
Upon arrival in Narvik, we will transfer from the airport to the city center by bus (approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour). We recommend coordinating arrival times where possible to simplify logistics, and the Axolot team will assist with planning ahead of the expedition.
In Narvik, a member of the team will welcome you and escort you to the expedition vessel, our home for the week. This unique liveaboard, originally built in the 1960s, combines character and history with modern safety standards and a layout perfectly adapted for technical diving expeditions.
Once onboard, you will be assigned your cabin and have time to assemble and check your diving equipment. The evening is dedicated to settling in, preparing gear, and getting ready for the first day of world-class wreck diving in Norway.
- Day 2
After breakfast, we begin the day with a detailed dive briefing covering the wreck site, dive plan, and safety procedures.
Diving operations in Narvik are highly dependent on tidal movements, weather conditions, and currents. With tidal variations reaching up to 3 meters, dives are carefully timed to ensure optimal conditions and safety, minimizing current and maximizing visibility.
Throughout the expedition, we will explore some of the most iconic World War II wrecks in Norway, including the legendary German destroyers Z2 Georg Thiele, Z12 Erich Giese, Z19 Hermann Künne, as well as the cargo ship S/S Odin. These deep wreck dives offer an exceptional combination of history, scale, and technical challenge, making Narvik one of the premier cold-water wreck diving destinations in the world.
- Axolot Dive Team
Throughout all our diving trips and technical expeditions, you will be accompanied by an experienced Axolot Diving Expeditions team member at every stage of the journey. From preparation to execution, our guides ensure the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and enjoyment.
JC, our lead instructor and primary expedition guide, oversees all diving activities. With extensive experience in deep wreck diving, technical procedures, and exploration, JC provides expert guidance both in and out of the water. His presence guarantees professional supervision, briefings and seamless dive execution, allowing you to fully focus on the experience while diving some of Narvik’s most iconic wrecks.
- Day 3, 4, 5 and 6
Over the next four days, we embark on an unforgettable journey through some of the most iconic World War II wrecks in Narvik. This region is a true paradise for technical wreck diving, offering a unique concentration of deep, well-preserved shipwrecks in cold, clear Arctic waters.
Dive sites may include legendary wrecks such as Z17 Dieter von Roeder, Z21 Wilhelm Heidkamp, Z22 Anton Schmidt, as well as impressive cargo vessels like M/S Neuenfels, M/S Stråssa, S/S Martha Henrik Fisser, S/S Romanby, and the P/S Norway. Each wreck offers its own character, history, and technical challenges. From massive hull structures to detailed penetrations and fascinating wartime artifacts.
Our captain, Erik, is not only highly experienced in navigating these waters but also a passionate technical CCR diver. His extensive knowledge of the wrecks, local conditions, tides, and currents ensures optimal dive planning and provides invaluable insights to maximize both safety and enjoyment on every dive.
After completing our final dives, we dedicate time to thoroughly rinse, clean, and dry all diving equipment. This ensures everything is properly maintained and ready for packing ahead of disembarkation.
- Day 7 - Friday Departure
As all great expeditions come to an end, we disembark after breakfast and begin our journey home. A transfer will be arranged to the bus station for your return to the airport.
