Diving with Sharks and Chimaeras in Norway
Diving in Trondheim, Norway, offers a unique chance to see sharks and chimaeras at recreational depths. The velvet-belly lantern shark, blackmouth catshark, and ratfish are the main species encountered here, each adapted to the cold, dark waters of the fjord. Good conditions for spotting these creatures are found during the transition from low to high tide, especially at night. Although these deep-sea species can be elusive and challenging to photograph, patience and calmness make encounters rewarding. Notably, these fascinating creatures face threats from fishing and deep-sea mining, putting their future at risk.
