Raftsundet offers a diverse underwater environment near Narvik, featuring wreck structures, wall formations, and reef sections. Divers can explore depths between 15 and 26 metres, with visibility typically ranging from 5 to 10 metres. Due to strong currents, this site is suited for intermediate divers and requires careful planning around tidal windows. Access is strictly by boat, and the cold water temperatures, which fluctuate between 3 and 12 degrees Celsius, necessitate the use of a drysuit. Night diving is available for experienced divers. Hazards include cold water, significant depth, potential entanglement, and strong currents. Local guides are recommended to manage boat entry and exit procedures effectively.

Strong currents make slack water the only practical entry window, so coordinate your boat drop with a guide who knows the local tidal schedule. A drysuit with appropriate undergarments is non-negotiable year-round, even in the warmer summer months when surface temperatures can be misleading.
