Kolbeinsey
Why dive here
Kolbeinsey is a reef dive where divers can encounter blue whales, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions.
Kolbeinsey, a remote island north of mainland Iceland, offers a raw, exposed dive. We're talking about a volcanic pinnacle rising from deep water, often battered by Atlantic swells and strong currents. Visibility can vary wildly, but on a good day, the sheer walls are impressive, covered in cold-water corals and anemones. This dive is definitely for experienced cold-water divers keen on extreme environments and a true sense of exploration.
