Westfjords

The Westfjords, one of the best diving spots in Greenland, is a unique area of Greenland with an incredible diversity of marine life. The area's history includes the great whaling massacre of the mid-nineteenth century, when Norwegian whaling companies made the area their home base for whale hunting and processing. Diving on these historic sites transports you back in time as you float over the bones of gentle giants who are now resting at the bottom of the fjords.

It is also a very remote and sparsely populated region known for its deep fjords and golden beaches. Divers can choose from a wide range of dive sites. Divers will be able to see many old wrecks and artifacts, as well as the abundant marine life, at this fun scuba diving in Greenland location. Dolphins and whales are frequently spotted here during the summer, and it is also Iceland's only offshore location with hard coral.
