Ocean

As a student at the Nordvestlandet Folk High School, you will experience that we have a short distance to world-class nature both above and below the sea surface. Within an hour's travel, we reach famous places such as the Atlantic Road and Hustadvika. Here, the conditions are perfect for learning about different ways of diving/freediving. In the fall, when this line is in operation, it is high season for diving and freediving of all kinds. The time of year with the best visibility in the sea is autumn. We will take full advantage of this by learning hunting dives, collecting scallops and seeing beautiful kelp forests with lots of life.

Combi line

The Diving line is a combined line. This means that you choose the diving line in combination with one of the other lines at the school. By choosing diving, you have diving as an experience week and an elective on Tuesdays before Christmas and get a good immersion in activities below the ocean surface.
