Ocean and Lava Wreck diving combo

Join us on a Ocean dive  in the North Atlantic and a fissure dive in salty and fresh water in Bjarnagja. This new diving combo might just be for you if you would like to try something completely different.

Both dive sites are located in Reykjanes peninsula, about an hour drive from downtown Reykjavik.

The structure of your tour depends on the tides and weater conditions that day. Our experienced guides will decide which dive spot you will first dive at shortly before your dive date.

**Bjarnagjá fissure**

根据较古老的大陆漂移理论,欧亚大陆板块和北美大陆板块在冰岛西南部雷克雅内斯半岛顶端的裂谷下,在无休止的地下力量冲突中移动和磨削在一起。 Bjarnagjá 是这个半岛上 18 m 深的熔岩峡谷,构造活动导致冰岛从海洋中升起。.

The water in Bjarnagjá is mostly fresh groundwater but it is influenced by the salinity of the sea as the rift is only few hundred meters from the coast. For those who have the appropriate level of training and diving experience this site offers dives in an overhead environment.

A boat has been placed at the bottom of the fissure, adding an eeriness to the dive spot.

**Ocean dive**

On the Ocean Diver Day Tour you will join the undersea inhabitants of the North Atlantic for a swim through Iceland’s cool coastal scene.

Our favorite local ocean dive site is Óttarsstaðir, which is a shore dive.

You will scuba dive in a kelp forest which offers a great habitat for a number of marine species, including lumpsuckers, nudibranches, and a wide variety of invertebrates. Colorful algae also flourish here off the coast of Iceland.

You will most likely notice pairs of eyes sticking out of the sandy patches of the ocean floor where the flounders live. Soft orange coral also intermittently decorates the sandy ocean floor. In the area of the kelp forests, a wolf fish might pay you an unexpected visit or stick its head out of a pile of rocks, looking a bit like a prehistoric creature.

Note that ocean dives in Iceland depend on the weather and it can happen that scheduled ocean dive trips have to be canceled due to unfortunate weather conditions.

If that is the case we usually have a plan B and can offer you other dive sites, such as Garður, Akranes, Kleifarvatn or Davíðsgjá that do not depend on the weather as much as the ocean.
