BFI | FAROE DIVE - ENGLISH | The Arctic: The Ultimate Training Ground for Navy and Emergency Services Divers

Leaders are invited to explore how our facilities can enhance operational effectiveness for Arctic missions.

The Arctic is one of the most extreme environments on Earth – icy waters, unpredictable currents and limited visibility. It is precisely these conditions that push divers to their limits and require both top physical fitness, mental strength and technical expertise. For divers, training in such environments is not just an advantage – it is a necessity.

At Faroe Dives commercial diving school in the Faroe Islands, a training program is developed that prepares divers for the most demanding underwater operations.

Located in the North Atlantic, the waters offer an Arctic-like training ground without the logistical challenges of full-scale polar expeditions.

Here, divers experience:

Cold Water Operations: Training in near-freezing temperatures builds resilience to cold shock and endurance for real Arctic missions.

Low Visibility Navigation: The deep fjords and strong currents mimic the challenging conditions divers encounter during covert military operations.

Equipment Stress Testing: The harsh conditions help units evaluate equipment performance under extreme loads and ensure reliability in the field.

Survival and Evacuation Exercises: Our programs include survival techniques, rapid entry and exit exercises, and simulated emergency diving.

For the Danish Defense and Navy, mastering these conditions is essential to be ready for Arctic missions. As the geopolitical focus on the Arctic intensifies, the need for divers who can operate in extreme environments increases. The Faroe Islands are the ideal training ground for this purpose.

Faroe Dive invite leaders to explore how our facilities can enhance operational effectiveness for Arctic missions.

Are your divers ready for the challenges of the future?
