This tour is for experienced divers since the maximum depth is around 30 meters (100 feet).
On this tour we visit two of Iceland’s best dives sites, the Silfra fissure in Thingvellir and the Strytan thermal chimney in Akureyri. Check out our Deep into the Blue trip to see more info on the Silfra. Strytan, like the Silfra, is a world top dive site and absolutely unique. It is a tower rising up from the ocean floor at around 70 meters (230 feet) and up to 15 meters (40 feet). From its top it blows out 90°C (190°F) warm water that has sparked some weird and wonderful marine life, which is only found here!
On the trip we also visit the newly discovered chimney’s which are a group of smaller chimney´s where different marine life can be found and one of the places we always see the wolfish. The includes all transport on land and sea, guided dives, accommodation up north, tanks and weights.
