Ice Diving in Norway/Finland

[fidelinho]

Hi,
I'm planning to do some ice diving in Norway or Finland but not very sure where to start looking. It will be end February or March but the dates are currently open.
I've been in Norway before but not for diving.

I'm not sure if there will be many doing this kind of diving or they may be closed for winter.
Do you have any "good" recommendation?
Not too far from an airport (if possible)

thanks

You can view a foreign language website through google translate.

For example, here is that last link for those whose Finnish isn't really great
Sea safety via Google-translator


There is also the Helsinki Dive Centre

Last time I checked, the PADI website had a PADI centre locator that helped you find PADI scuba centres anywhere on the globe. Find a website for a scuba centre near your destination, then if the website isn't in a language you understand, use google translate.

Hello !

looots of people are ice diving here in Norway
Myeself, i havent tryed it yet, but realy looking forward to my first..!

afact, i have been invitet for a ice dive with my earlyer aowd instructor, soon, in Kvænangen, up north here in norway.
We have a smal airport (Nordreisa), about 1 hour from dive site, and im shure you could join! But might be to much north for you ?

Old thread, but here goes:

Klaretjern in the south eastern part of Norway is a popular choice for both "regular" and ice diving, known for its (usually) incredible visibility. This winter has been very mild, so I wouldn't expect it to freeze over any time soon... unless the temperature starts dropping... Klaretjern - YouTube
