What you might see

• NudibranchLikely

Sightings are seasonal probabilities, not promises - even in peak season nature does its own thing.

Certification & difficulty

Advanced Open Water - advanced conditions (currents/depth); dive within your training.

Snorkelling

Not a snorkel site - No dedicated drift-ice snorkel/walk tours verified in Rausu itself - that activity is concentrated in Utoro. Rausu's winter offerings are scuba diving plus drift-ice/eagle-watching boat cruises

Safety notes

Extreme cold air and water, overhead ice cover limiting direct surface access, unpredictable ice movement/attachment, regulator freeze-up risk without cold-water-rated equipment

Permits & fees

Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
