Strytan

Strytan is a very special diving site in North Iceland, in the middle of Eyjafjörur. Strtan was discovered hundreds of years ago by old fishermen using weights and a line to measure the depth of the fjord, but when modern technology of the coast guard failed to find them, they were removed from sea charts and declared non-existent in 1987. This massive structure was discovered by Erlendur Bogason and his friend rni Halldórsson, captain of the whale watching boat Nels Jónsson, in 1997.

Strytan, located near Akureyri, the country's second-largest city, has a depth of 70 meters. There is also a 55-meter limestone chimney that goes 15 meters beneath the water's surface. Strtan is a protected natural reserve where divers can explore the fauna and flora that have evolved to be truly amazing. They'll also enjoy feeling the warm water that flows from the Strytan. This is one of the best diving spots in Greenland, but it's only for experienced divers because they need to keep their buoyancy under control and the currents can be strong.
