Diving for Norway's hidden corals

Diving for Norway's hidden corals

Spectacular dives along vertical rock walls, ice floes on the surface, dives from 60 meters depth, strong current and deco stops in water of 3 degrees Celsius. Those are the ingredients of winter diving in search of Norway's hidden cold water corals.

From his professional green screen studio, Melvin takes you deep into mysterious red and white coral trees in wintry Norway and tells about new coral walls they discovered during their expedition. It's a live session, Melvin is happy to answer your questions.

Until recently, we thought that coral reefs only occur in warm tropical waters. That turns out to be incorrect. Hidden coral reefs lie at great depths in the Atlantic Ocean. In cold water at a depth of 1000 to 3000 meters! There is one place in the world where these corals occur at diveable depths. Bas Poelmann, Fiona van Doorn and Melvin Redeker traveled there and explored.
