Nusfjord
Lofoten Islands · Norway
Nusfjord is one of the most picturesque fjord diving experiences in Norway, where ancient fishing village walls plunge beneath the surface into a cold, gin-clear world teeming with life. Enormous Atlantic wolf fish lurk in crevices amid swaying kelp forests that tower up to 10 meters tall, while European lobster and edible crab forage across the rocky seabed. King crab, introduced from the Barents Sea, have colonised these waters and now appear in extraordinary numbers alongside plump sea urchins and vivid nudibranchs.
