Testimonials

From Chris

All,

Just a quick email to say thank you so much for your help in organising the trip to Iceland. It was, not to put to fine a point on it, SPECTACULAR. Everything that could have happened did – a mountain rescue, an amazing hotel, a meal of whale meat and puffin at Lækjarbrekka, cocktail fun at Orange and a light poaching at the Blue Lagoon. And to round it all off: an Icelandic psychic on the plane home who gave everyone “dream pebbles”. Seriously. The whole thing still feels faintly surreal and dream-like, to be honest.

But the best bit? The dive. Was just utterly, utterly incredible. Not that you can tell from these pics, but this is me but this is me at Þingvellir - 40m down in glacial water with 100m visibility:

It was one of the highlights of my life. Seriously. Genuinely awe-inspiringly beautiful. Hedinn was a superb dive master, and gave me all the help and encouragement I needed. And with the our great jeep story as well (thanks to our guide Ragi – a really great guy), I think it’s going to make a great piece.

So thank you so much for your help organising it – everything worked like clockwork, and we both had an amazing time. I’ll be in touch nearer the time when we start laying out the feature, but until then, thanks again..

Iceland Dive Express - Weekend Dive Trip To Iceland

Weekend diving trip to the best dive sites in Iceland

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 Strýtan thermal chimney in Akureyri.  Check out our Deep into the Blue trip to see more info on the Silfra. Strýtan, 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 magnificent 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 price includes all transport on land and sea, guided dives, accommodation up north, tanks and weights.
