300ft+ Vis!
September 26, 2009
The SILFRA Rift offers insane visibility for extreme divers. Thanks to Scuba Iceland who made me aware of this incredible phenomenon I have to move Iceland up to my #1 location for my next dive trip. The Silfra Crack, where the American and European continents meet, offers three diving sites: Silfra Lagoon, Silfra Cathedral and Silfra Hall. Visibility is an amazing 100m+ (300ft+), but the water is super cold ( 2°C – 4°C all year ) because it is fueled by the runoff of glaciers. If strong currents and mid-dive earthquakes aren’t your thing, you might want to stick to Florida.
Thats my office, everybody is welcome to come and dive with us at Scuba Iceland:)
