Tufjorden Cave is a shallow Arctic dive site in Finnmark, Norway, featuring a cave system at depths between 5 and 8 metres. The site is accessible only by boat and is characterised by strong currents that require careful navigation and solid buoyancy control. Visibility is variable, ranging from 10 to 30 metres. Given the cold water temperatures, which fluctuate between 4 and 11 degrees Celsius, a drysuit is essential. Divers should monitor their depth gauge closely due to the significant drop-off and time their entry around slack water to ensure safe conditions within the cave.
