Strýtan Dive CenterResort

Strýtan Dive Center grew out of a simple idea in 2010: Erlendur Bogason wanted to take divers down to the hydrothermal chimneys in Eyjafjörður. The PADI Resort works around Akureyrarbær, and those underwater chimneys are still what the whole operation is built around.

The team keeps groups small so each diver gets proper attention from a knowledgeable guide. It also spends time teaching people about the local marine life and why it needs looking after. Over the years it has added more dive sites, PADI courses and whale watching trips. Staff teach in English and Norwegian.
