About Kongsfjorden

A reef dive. It goes down to 25 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces W: swell from the W reaches it, and wind from the E blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 1°C in January, its coldest month (drysuit), and 7°C in July, its warmest (drysuit). The town to stay in is Ny Alesund. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
