Fire & Ice

Iceland Highlights & Greenland Expedition

This expedition offers so much more than “just” diving. You will experience the extreme beauty and fury of the volcanic Iceland and the icy, arctic Greenland, top-side. For most divers both islands are as of yet undiscovered and promise a real sense of exploration and adventure like no other!
This one of a kind expedition takes you to Iceland’s favorite 5 dive sites as well as some of the most spectacular iceberg diving Greenland has to offer. This is to say nothing about the volcanic landscape of Iceland and the arctic wonders of Greenland’s rugged east coast!

Iceland and Greenland: it doesn't get much better than this

We just finished a ten day trip of Iceland and Greenland with Dive.Is. This is a most impressive trip and makes you want to come back again and again. It combined diving, sightseeing and whale watching. As with everything involving nature schedules had to be juggled but Dave was the best guide we could have asked for. The diving is stunning, the scenery is like something from Game of Thrones and the food and hospitality is second to none. There were so many highlights but Silfra and Strytan in Iceland were very special for me and getting to dive blue icebergs in Greenland was so amazing. I cannot say enough about how good Dive.Is were with accommodating our requirements and needs throughout the trip. Truly a great company!!

Get ég tekið þátt í lengri ferðum þó að ég hafi ekki kafað í langan tíma?
- 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.
Ég er með þurrbúningaskírteini en er ekki með 10 þurrbúninga kafanir, get ég samt komið?
- Til að kafa í Silfru þarftu að hafa annað hvort þurrbúningaskírteini eða 10 skráðar þurrbúninga kafanir á síðustu tveimur árum. Þú þarft ekki bæði, annað hvort er nóg.
Hverjar eru heilsu kröfur til að taka þátt í lengri ferðunum?
- Eins og með hverja aðra köfunarferð krefjumst við þess að kafararnir séu heilbrigðir og hraustir. Ef þú ert ekki viss mælum við með því að þú látir lækni kíkja á þig. Við munum einnig biðja þig um að skrifa undir heilsufarsyfirlýsinguna okkar og fá læknisvottorð ef sú yfirlýsing krefst þess.
