The RuDIVE Group and Arctic Circle Dive Centre have completed a successful expedition to the North Pole.
This unique and unprecedented event opened up a new page in the history of Arctic exploration, and pushed back the boundaries of diving.
From 11-18 April, the RuDIVE Group and Arctic Circle Dive Centre operated the first drift ice dive centre at the North Pole in human history, making it possible to carry out a series of ice dives without the participants having to return to a base camp every day. On 14-16 April, a team of seven divers led by Mikhail Safonov completed 3 ice dive cycles to depths of up to 15 m, spending at least 40 minutes under the water each time. The dives followed standard PADI and Arctic Circle Dive Centre ice diving practice.
