Why dive here
ANDRI is a wreck dive where divers can encounter dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions. Water ranges 2-13°C, warmest July, August, September.
Forget the glacial rift of Silfra for a moment, and head out to the Reykjanes Peninsula for something completely different. The Andri, a fishing vessel that went down in 1971, sits upright at a manageable 10 meters. It’s a proper wreck dive without the extreme depths. You can swim around the superstructure, peering into what’s left of the wheelhouse, and imagine the working life of the ship. While not overflowing with colorful reef fish, the wreck has become home to a fascinating array of local marine life, often including wolf fish, various flatfish, and nudibranchs clinging to the metal. It’s a solid wreck dive for those looking for a piece of history in Iceland’s cold waters.
