One of our very own club members recently traded their usual gear for a thicker dry suit to take the plunge into Iceland’s legendary Silfra Fissure. Diving into the glacial waters of Þingvellir National Park, they experienced what many describe as "liquid air"—visibility so piercingly clear it feels like floating through a vacuum.

The real magic of this dive is the geology. Silfra is a massive crack in the earth formed by the diverging North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. As our member drifted through the "Big Crack," they were literally suspended between two continents, able to reach out and touch both sides of the shifting world at once. It’s a surreal, silent world of neon-green "troll hair" algae and deep basalt canyons that reminds us why we travel so far for that perfect dive.

Very busy evening last night,we sold the Williams and James compressor well done Chris. We also had a visit from Mary Tetley BSAC CEO, Sophie Heptonstall BSAC Head of Training and Sandra Crowley from BSAC membership. We had invited them to the club to discuss the many concerns we had with the new digital system introduced recently. The meeting was very postive with them taking onboard the many concerns we had I will update you all after our next committee meeting. They did say how very impressed they were how we ran the club and the facilities we have which would be the envy of many clubs. So all very positive.
