Diving in the Faroe Islands is becoming more and more popular and there are several dive sites around the 18 islands. The water is crystal clear and cold. Water temperatures on the Faroe Islands are between 4-10 degrees Celsius.
The Faroe Islands are old volcanic islands and therefore there are many caves and crevices with kelp forests where you can photograph. Remember a lamp. Beginner diving courses are available around the islands.
From here in the bay you can sail out to dive. Among other things, you can sail with the ship Stella Polaris, which is licensed for 7 people.
In addition to the many fish in the sea, it is also possible to meet a seal.
