When is the best time to dive in Iceland?
-
Each season has its own pros and cons. Spring and fall are best for those who like to stay out of the crowds. While we dive in small groups, some of the on-land sites we visit are popular among your run of the mill tourist and, frankly, can get a little crowded, although we do know of quite a few out of the way gems. Late spring you´ll see the vegetation come alive and the birds and the bees buzzing by with excitement. The autumn colours of the turning leaves (yes, we have leaves!) are definitely something to behold and the weather is often calm and the air crisp. Summer is the busiest season, and for a good reason. It´s the warmest and most lush time of the year with nature in full bloom.
From a diving stand point, it makes little difference which of the three seasons you visit as the dive sites, visibility and marine life are pretty constant through out, varying more from day to day, than from season to season. The ocean temperatures are warmest, however, in summer and fall – about 8-12°C.
