Going to Iceland

[jonahfab]

Planning a trip to Iceland beginning of may this year. Can anyone give me recommendations on a dive center to go with, and sites that can't be missed.
thanks for any help.

It's got to be Silfra. Pure, fresh water with visibility forever. SOme of my pics are here at this link: http://www.sublimescubaphotography.com/scenic.htm

I dived out of http://www.dive.is

They will set you up for the trip. If you go, say hi to David at the centre from me!!

Interesting. We're hoping to go to iceland towards this summer. Its proving harder to find volunteers than a red sea trip though.

I can understand that string. I don't know if the sea diving is up to much in Iceland, I didn't do any. But Silfra is definitely a great experience. Water was 3 degrees, though, so not really Red Sea temps

You're gonna have a blast diving up there. I never heard too much about diving in the ocean though - just fresh water stuff.

I've made a couple of cruises out of Iceland, one headed northwest to the edge of the ice and then to Greenland and the other to Spitzbergen and then north to the Ice. We were doing blues water diving for Jellies and it was really wonderful, a lot of things that you only see deep are much shallower (and larger) there and the visibility was excellent.

what does the diving in Iceland compare to?
