On Expedition with JUNIOR II in Norway

The JUNIOR then went on tour to Norway: A long planned, six-person diving team expedition from the tech magazine “Wetnotes.” A narrow three-week window was open in August to complete a tight program of almost a dozen exploratory dives to various ship and aircraft wrecks from the Narvik area to the Lofoten islands. A BAUER system was chosen for the air supply. Here in the Arctic Circle there are often harsh conditions, even in summer, and the water temperature rarely rises above 12°C. Clean, dry breathing air is extremely important here, as moisture can quickly lead to life-threatening icing on diving regulators during cold water dives. Thanks to its low weight and compact dimensions, the JUNIOR fit perfectly on the trailer. The gasoline drive allowed the team to have a completely self-sufficient air supply directly on the pier next to the boat. Almost all of the targeted destinations were successfully dived.
