Experience of a lifetime - This trip had been on my bucket list for years and didn’t disappoint. Despite being a little apprehensive, the safety briefing and kit arrangements all built confidence so by the time it came to getting in the water, things were very relaxed. Diogo was a fantastic guide who read the family group of 5 really well. His relaxed manner and sense of fun was very well received. The snorkelling itself was absolutely spectacular. If you are thinking of doing this trip, you won’t be disappointed !

Once in a lifetime experience - This experience was amazing. I was very hesitant because I do not like to be cold but it wasn’t that bad. Your lips get cold but the dry suit they put you in plus your thermal layer actually keeps you warm. Our guide Wimar was excellent. He was funny, knowledgeable and made us feel safe. We definitely recommend this as a unique must-do experience while visiting Iceland.

Great experience- Excellent Staff! (ALEX) - Everything was amazing from start to finish! We arrived early and was kindly prompted to undress and put on our suits for snorkeling - which the staff was so kind and helpful! Our group had Alex as a guide and there are no words to describe how amazing she was! She made sure we were well informed, felt safe, and had a good time. At one point my husband started to cramp (he doesn’t drink enough water) and she gladly helped massage his cramp away. Like how above and beyond!! We traveled through the fissure and she took photos and guided us along the way. Was able to get great footage on my Go Pro as well. Thank you so much Alex!! What a wonderful spirit you have - we hope to see you in the future at Dive.IS!

Fabulous snorkeling with Boris and Diogo - We had an absolutely incredible time snorkeling with Dive.IS! Boris and Diogo were both incredibly helpful, kind, and very fun to spend the introduction portion with. Boris took the 4 of us around during the snorkeling tour, and took so many photos for us to remember our experience by. He even accommodated our request for photos together. Thank you Boris and Diogo!!!

Not made aware a doctors note needed - I signed up for snorkling trip. Only after I paid was I informed that because i'm 62 i required a doctor's note. It was a Sunday and I was only in Iceland for a few days. Needing a note was mot made clear on your website. The outfitter refused to reimburse me. Hopefully Viator will make me whole
