Það fer svolítið eftir hverjum og einum, ef þú hefur ekki kafað í 6 mánuði eða lengur og finnst þú svolítið ryðgaður er ekki vitlaust að gera eina köfun áður eða koma í upprijunarnámskeið með okkur. Sumir köfunarstaðir á Íslandi eru svolítið djúpir og með slæmt skyggni og því ekki sniðugt að fara með óörygga kafara á þá staði. Það er einmitt þess vegna sem við setjum lágmarkskröfur um 4-10 þurrbúningakafanir og 30-40 kafanir í heildina á sumum lengri ferðum.

As with any dive tour – or indeed any dive – anyone who´s reasonably fit and healthy is usually good to go diving. In case you´re not sure we suggest to consult a (dive) doctor for a check-up before booking a dive tour. At any rate, you will be asked to sign a medical statement and liability release whereby you take responsibility for your own fitness to dive.

In terms of personal gear, all your regular travel kit, plus some warm, wind and water proof clothing. Even in the middle of summer the temperatures can get low (to below 10°C at night) so a good fleece – or better yet, Icelandic wool – will be essential, along with a hat and gloves. Also, while we tend not to get heavy, sustained rain, our summers can see their fair amount of precipitation, therefore you´ll need some form of rain protection to keep you dry between dives and on our sightseeing stops. It is important to have strong shoes, for example hiking boots, as much of the terrain in Iceland is uneven and rugged. And on our 5 and 10-day tour you will have access to a hot-tub at one of the hotels, so it is a good idea to bring swimwear.  In terms of dive gear, most of our multi-day dive tour participants bring their own full sets of dive equipment. However, we do have a full range of top of the line dive equipment for hire at reasonable rates. Please contact us at diveexpeditions@dive.is for a price list.
