Bart van den Bos, Lead Guide & Instructor
I rather have a wet dry-suit than a dry wet-suit!
My first introduction to the underwater world was as a teenager while snorkelling at the Costa Brava in Spain. Sparking a lifelong passion for diving and, eventually doing my fist dive on the Maltese Islands. I gained my Open Water Diver certification while I was living and working in the Caribbean. Although born in the Netherlands I have been traveling the world as a chef and since 2006 as a dive pro, before settling in New Zealand for a while and finally ending up in Iceland. “The land of fire and ice, trolls and elves.” If you don’t find me diving you will find me somewhere in the outdoors or training Muay Thai. Still wondering who I am? Just look for the guy who usually wears his hair Viking style.
