Comments	A very unique diving experience. No animal life in the spring, just incredible visibility. The better your tolerance for cold water diving and dry suit familiarity, the more enjoyable your experience. Water temp bounces around between 40 - 45 degrees F. Typically, you take the dive as part of a general Iceland tour. The dive shop supplied all of the gear. Brand new dry suits were very comfortable. Little bit of a walk from the gear area to the spring entrance with all of the extra lead for the drysuit. Again, a more advanced dive. A different trip since it was not dive centric. Make sure to hit the Blue Lagoon.
