Best for advanced divers, shore & boat entry.
Sam Ford Fiord is defined by sheer granite walls that drop vertically into deep water, reaching depths of up to 1,500 metres. This Arctic site is suitable for advanced snorkellers due to the extremely cold water temperatures, which range from -1°C to 3°C throughout the year. Entry is possible from both shore and boat. Given the severe thermal conditions, significant thermal protection is required for all water activities. The site is noted for its dramatic vertical rock faces that descend into the dark, deep waters of the fjord.
