Diving my way around ICELAND - Silfra & ICEBERGS !
For my 30th Birthday in January this year I went to Iceland to dive the clearest water in the world. A place called Silfra which has up to 100m visibility. Also found the icebergs in the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon which were way too spectacularly not to dive! We also visited the famous black beach near Vik & the Skaftafell glacier which had some ridiculous ice formations. I didn't get a chance to go spearfishing this time but plan to head back and try that. Also massive thanks to Stu K for letting me borrow the GH5 & Nauticam rig for this trip!
Check out Biggi from freedive Iceland to book your tour, recommend the freediving tour not the snorkel tour as the snorkel tour is with a dry suit and you can't dive at all.

MUST DO IN ICELAND | Blue Lagoon & Snorkelling in Silfra
It's our first epic day here in Reykjavik, and we are just ticking off the bucket list items here in Iceland. First up we go and snorkel between two continents at Silfra which is quite possibly the coldest and clearest waters we have ever snorkelled in...
...and after a few hours on the phone to our travel insurance company we gave up on seeing what we can claim to go out and spend some time in the must do day trip - Blue Lagoon...which we can say lives up to the expectations.

Is Iceland's Blue Lagoon A Lavish Luxury? | Destination Debunkers
INSIDER's A.C. Fowler heads to Iceland's Blue Lagoon, a natural hot spring. Is it a lavish luxury or an overpriced public pool?
The Blue Lagoon is in Grindavík, a 45-minute drive from Iceland's capital Reykjavík, a quickly growing tourist hot spot. The area is a perfect blend of city and country living.
A.C. tests how crowded it is, if it's worth the $58 admission, and if the lagoon's water and mud really have healing properties.
The Blue Lagoon is one of the most visited destinations in Iceland. 80% of tourists who come to the country trek to the famous thermal waters.
While the physical lagoon is man-made, the natural geothermal waters are sourced from a nearby geothermal field.
The peak season is the summer, so the best time to visit the Blue Lagoon is in the winter.
CEO Grímur Sæmundsen said, To be in the Blue Lagoon and having the Northern Lights, there's nothing that beats it.
The Blue Lagoon also acts as a facility for skin care research, so it makes sense that its biggest selling point is its natural silica mud masks.
Make sure you head to the lagoon early in the day to beat the crowds. Keep it mind that it can be pricey, so make sure you're picking a package that fits your needs. And don't be afraid to lather on the complimentary silica masks.

SILFRA - Diving World's Clearest Water In Iceland
Silfra in Iceland has some of the clearest, purest and most beautiful water in the world. Its rated as one of the planet's top cold water dive sites and is the place where the continents of Europe and North America meet together. The Silfra dive site is located in the Thingvellir National Park Iceland. If you are thinking about diving in Iceland then the Silfra dive is a must see. You can dive there all year round, under the midnight sun and even in wintertime. Silfra is simply a great dive site that has to be seen to be believed. You can only imagine how pure the water is, so pure in fact, you can actually drink the water your diving in - now that's seriously pure!
This stunning video was brought to by the team at Magmadive in Iceland. The footage was shot during the summer at Silfra by David Ramsay using a GO PRO Hero 3. In the video, David wears a Waterproof D1 Hybird Drysuit, the only constant volume drysuit in the world. David offers personalised drysuit training for divers new to the realm of cold water environments like Silfra.
For information about drysuit training with David, scuba diving or snorkeling in Silfra's crystal clear water between the tectonic plates visit

Silfra Fissure - The World's Clearest Water
Silfra Fissure is located in Thingvellir National Park in Iceland, the Silfra dive site is approximately 60 kilometres (a 45-minute drive) from Reykjavik. Silfra is the only place where one can dive or snorkel directly in the crack between two continental plates.
The Silfra fissure, is known as one of the top dive sites in the world for two main reasons.
First, the Silfra fissure is actually a crack between the North American and Eurasian continents, meaning that you dive or snorkel right where the continental plates meet and drift apart about 2cm per year.
Secondly, the underwater visibility in the Silfra fissure is over 100 meters, which creates an underwater experience that will rarely, if ever, be surpassed.
The reasons for this astounding water clarity are twofold: the water is cold (2°C – 4°C year round ) as it is melt water from the nearby Langjökull Glacier and this water is filtered through porous underground lava for 30-100 years until it reaches the north end of Thingvellir lake, seeping out from underground wells.
The Silfra water is as pristine as water can get and you can drink it at anytime during your dive or snorkel.
Thanks for watching.
