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!!

Can I still join your Multiple Day Dive Tours or Dive Expeditions if I haven´t dived in a long while?
- Depending on your previous dive experience and level of dive training, if you haven't dived for a period of six months or more and are feeling a little rusty, we would suggest you do a refresher dive course prior to departure. While Iceland is known for it´s crystal clear and calm fresh water dive sites, some of our dive sites are deep, others have strong currents or sometimes low visibility. Those are the reasons we usually do require that our divers have a minimum of 4-10 logged dry suit dives and a total of 30-40 logged dives, depending on the dive tour.
I have a Dry suit certification but I don't have 10 dry suit dives, can I still dive with you?
- To dive in Silfra you need dry suit certification OR a minimum of 10 logged dry suit dives within the last two years. You don't need to meet both of these requirements, one is sufficient.
What are your health requirements for joining your Multi-Day Dive Tours?
- 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.
