Fantastic experience - I did the Scuba Diver-Beginners Course. Daniel and his crew made it easy for me to get excited about diving. I felt safe at any time and they adjusted the course perfectly to me. I can only recommend discovering Lofoten underwater with Lofoten Diving. Fun. Five Stars.

Nice place to start diving - We tried the first time diver class with Lofoten diving. Of course it was not easy and I panicked a bit at the beginning but our instructor was very friendly and patient and everything went fine. Even not far from the shore we managed to enjoy some great time under the water and we saw starfish, anemones, crabs... The equipment was very good and we didn't get cold with the thick dry suit.

The best global cold water diving! - One of the most professional dive operations experiences after 600+ dives. Very solid equipment (had to rent a dry suit being a wet suit diver post COVID ). went for 10 dives having missed Galapagos this year. Got 6 in total, so price wise for the travel and stay almost same price point. Alas, that disappointment apart, mind blowing diving in pristine waters. They accommodated returning to my favorite dive site. We also had Orcas off season post dive (I cried) and our lovely hosts paused to live this moment with everyone. The cold big waving kelp forests with all that live blew my mind. Cold water diving will now be a regular. Lofoten Diving is probably the best global cold water diving there is! (Just do it)

Fun diving, competent staff, great place - Me and my wife had a great experience with Lofoten Diving. We did our Dry Suit course under the excellent tutelage of Daniel, the chief instructor. He is knowledgeable and great fun. The other staff are kind, provide tips and tricks and help out before, during and after the diving itself. We would gladly return!
It was nice to stay at Villa Ballstad, only 20 metres from the diving centre. We would recommend staying there during your diving visit.

Great responsible diving center - I am a novice diver and had quite a long time without diving. Therefore, I had booked a refresh course for the first of two days of diving with a group of friends. Initially, our instructor Daniel had intended for everyone to go out together and for me and another novice to do the refresh excercises in the water before the main dive. During the briefing, however, he figured out that the best course of action would be to do a separate refresh/reactivate session with the two of us, while the others went for their dive with another instructor. I am so glad he was flexible and responsible enough to make this decision, as this was absolutely the best solution for us. Daniel is a fantastic instructor who ensures that everyone feels safe and looked after at all times, and he really helped me to let go of my anxiousness and to feel safe enough to enjoy diving again. The second day, the entire group went diving together, and we all had a great time. My other friends also went on another two dives which they reported had been fantastic. Highly recommended!

Amazing dry suit course! - I went there with my friend to take the dry suit course specialty as an AOWD certified diver.
Daniel was our instructor. He was very patient, attentive, concise and you can really see that he's passionated by what he's doing! A plus, he does not stop to "the PADI system" but learn you thing that are not in the books, alternatives methods and all the things that you need to know if you want to buy your material.
On the top of it, he was very funny ;-)!
Antoine was the second instructor there, he's French and very nice and helpful too.
The rest of the staff was very helpful and here if you needed any help to put your drysuit for exemple.
Prices are correct for the course (we're in Norway..!) but every equipment even the computer was included.
Deeply recommend if you want take a step in an other underwater world!

Great diving, people, location, equipment - Thank you again for yet another delightful diving experience! This is my second time here and i really want to commend them for the great service.
Everything from the fantastic location and mountain views to the quality equipment (shell suits!), to the warm and reliable instructor (Daniel) - this is quality through and through.
Healthy kelp forests, nice little boat trip through the archipelago, and awesome visibility makes for an absolutely amazing day underwater.

A must do! - We recently dived here and had a wonderful experience. Initially, I was apprehensive of the temperature of the water but the dry-suits offered are well kept and completely insulating. I would certainly recommend using one over a wetsuit. Damian, my instructor was extremely responsible, friendly and professional and ensured that not only were we safe underwater, but enjoyed ourselves. As a diver, I certainly recommend this dive centre. The overall experience was great and I urge anyone reading this review to visit this place, as it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Friedly staff/ instuctors. Felt all the time very save. Professional base - went there in July 19 for two dives (one drysuit) and it was just great. Daniel and his team did a great job to make everyone feel comfortable ans save.
The briefing and explanation on what we are going to to was good.
Will come back!

Terrible experience. Do not go. - We booked the trip about 3 weeks in advance, when we tried to call them multiple times around 1 week before the trip the phone would just go voicemail. When they finally called back, one day before the dive day, we were already in Lofoten, and they informed us that the owner went away for holiday, so the dives were obviously cancelled. I would strongly urge anyone considering diving with this dive center to reconsider, they only seem to care about money and not the well being of their customers.
