Ice diving course

Discover Plura

Book an unforgettable ice diving course

Plura Valley is located in northern Norway, our enchanting valley promises an experience unlike any other.

While our location is famous for Plura Cave, we must not forget the beautiful plura valley surrounding this cave. The arctic climate of northern Norway freezes over the valley in the winter months and offers the opportunity for arctic ice diving in the pristine melting water.

Whether you are here to learn, explore or relax, your hosts will make your stay unforgettable. Start your day with a lovely breakfast or a quick ice bath, followed by a real ice diving trip. Warm up in our saunas from the outside, or warm up from the inside at our bar.

We are currently working hard on finalizing our packages, but our doors are always open for you! Get in touch, and Ina will let you know how you can enjoy the ice diving season at Plura Valley!


All packages contain: Diving, a guide, food and non-alcoholic drinks* , gasses** (Air, O2, NX), rental tanks, accommodation, transport to/from the airport and to/from dive sites.

Two ice diving sites, same river

Dive into our crystal clear underwater world

Starting your new year with a cold plunge is nothing new, but starting your year with a pristine ice dive is probably not something that you have crossed off your bucket list as of yet.

Plura Valley is covered in ice from January through April and we are therefore able to provide you with a consistent ice diving experience year after year.

Even though Northern Norway knows “summer”, the water at Plura never gets truly warm. The water that is supplying our river and cave consists of a year round supply of melting water and rain. Even in summer this results in a maximum temperature of up to 7 degrees Celsius. (45 Fahrenheit)

As a result all instructors are extremely experience with ice-cold diving, year round.

Entering a different dimension

Winter season is peak for pristine visibility! In March and April the visibility gets up to 100 meters (328 ft). The power of the water from the cave has washed out a 7 meter (23 ft) deep canyon that is perfect for ice diving in the winter.

Plura Valley offers ice diving with easy logistics and an incredible view, both under and above water! If you haven’t tried it before, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

The Arctic climate provides us with a steady supply of cold water, which makes our instructors some of the most experienced cold water divers in the world.

Important to know

Learning to ice dive

Taking an ice diving course is a logical step in order to become a better diver and maybe eventually a cave diver.

If you book one of our courses, this is what you will learn and experience:

  • Thermal protection: How it works and how to stay warm
  • Adapt and how to be comfortable in extreme climates
  • A beautiful and extremely high visibility of up to 100m (330ft)
  • A diving experience like no other

We will be using ropes and teach you how to communicate using these, so that you will feel comfortable and safe at all times.

Even though winter offers more darkness than light, we will be diving only during daylight.

Not here to train and just want to dive for fun? No worries! We’ve got an offer tailored for you as well.
