MAVUR
Why dive here
MAVUR is a wreck dive where divers can encounter blue whales, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions.
The Mavur, a 76-meter carrier vessel, sits upright at a shallow five meters, making it remarkably accessible. She went down in 1981, striking rocks on her way out of Eyjafjordur, and now offers a surprisingly intact wreck dive. We've found the wheelhouse and parts of the superstructure are still quite defined, allowing for easy navigation through the remaining sections. You'll spot lumpfish tucked into crevices and often schools of cod hanging around the bow, especially in the calmer summer months. It's an ideal spot for newer wreck divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive.
