Diving More info about this activity
Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic Islands are some of the last unspoiled regions of the world. The mysterious White Continent, with its multi-colored ice caps, glistening glaciers, and towering snow-capped mountains, offers unparalleled scenery and photographic opportunities. Enormous numbers of penguins, whales, seals, and seabirds congregate in the food-rich waters along the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic shores.
In the Arctic, the dives in the polar areas vary from shallow ice diving, where we dive near the ice-floes (approx. 9 meters, 30 feet) to shore diving, where we dive to approximately nine to 18 meters (30 to 60 feet). The combination of sunlight, sea water, and the often extraordinary formations of ice.
The chances of diving are subject to weather, wildlife and sea ice conditions.
This epic 21-day journey offers a deep immersion into the most pristine and spectacular ecosystems of the Southern Hemisphere. Starting in vibrant Buenos Aires, the expedition moves to Ushuaia to begin sailing toward the White Continent. During six days in Antarctica, travelers will explore monumental ice landscapes, tidewater glaciers, and penguin colonies, guided by experts who interpret this life-filled environment.
The adventure continues to the South Georgia Islands, a Lost Eden where nature reigns supreme with massive colonies of king penguins and elephant seals. Finally, the journey culminates in the Falkland Islands archipelago, a territory of white sand beaches and overwhelming birdlife. It is an odyssey designed for the adventurous spirit, combining luxury on board with exploration at the edges of civilization.
