    300ft+ Vis!

    September 26, 2009

    Silfra_cathedral_Peter_R2The 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.
