Built by divers — for divers
Bare Dykk is a specialist dive shop and a complete dive center for people who want to experience more underwater. We bring together diving equipment, expert guidance, courses, gas fills, boat diving, guiding and accommodation — all in one place.
More than an online store
Bare Dykk was founded on a simple idea: good diving equipment only becomes truly valuable when it is combined with knowledge, the right fit and real-world experience.
That is why we want to be more than a place where you buy products. We want to be a knowledgeable partner throughout your entire diving journey — from your first equipment choice to continued education and more demanding diving.
We are active divers and instructors ourselves. Our advice is built on practical experience from Norwegian conditions, cold water, drysuit diving and both recreational and technical diving.
The right gear for the right diver
There is rarely a single solution that fits everyone. Equipment should be chosen based on experience, body, dive environment, future plans and how the parts work together. Our goal is not to recommend as much gear as possible — but gear that works for the diving you are actually going to do.
- Sport diving
- Technical diving
- Drysuit diving
- Sidemount and twinsets
- Underwater scooters (DPVs)
- Rebreathers and advanced gas management
- Freediving and snorkeling
- Complete, well-thought-out setups
We carry products from established manufacturers and prioritize quality, available spare parts and solutions we can stand behind.
Training that builds divers
A good course is about more than completing skills and earning a certification. It is about developing understanding, skills and good habits that stay with you. We offer courses through CMAS and TDI — from entry-level training to technical courses and instructor education.
- Buoyancy control and trim
- Movement and positioning in the water
- Gas planning and situational awareness
- Teamwork, communication and equipment understanding
- Solid, repeatable procedures
A complete dive center in Skarnsundet
At Småvika, between Skarnsundet and Verrasundet, we have built a dive center where divers can stay, fill gas, dry their gear, complete courses and head out on new dives. We welcome individuals, groups of friends, clubs and technical teams for multi-day stays.
- Accommodation close to the sea
- Dive boat
- Guiding and local dive knowledge
- Air, nitrox and trimix
- Classroom and course facilities
- Drying and prep areas
- Rental and help with dive planning
A marine protected area with rare cold-water corals
Skarnsundet has strong tidal currents, steep underwater walls and rich marine life. Experienced sport divers can encounter cold-water corals from around 18 meters, and for divers with the right training there are also deeper coral areas and demanding targets for technical diving.
Conditions vary significantly with the tide. That is why we plan every dive around current, weather, dive site and the divers' actual experience — great experiences come from realistic planning, not from forcing everyone into the same program.
Expertise, honesty and community
Expertise
Advice, courses and programs are built on knowledge, experience and solid procedures.
Honesty
Realistic recommendations — even when the best solution is simpler than you imagined.
Wholeness
Equipment, skills, gas, logistics and dive plan all have to work together.
