Best for intermediate divers, 10-30m, shore entry, mild current.
Vidhey is a marine dive site located off the coast of Southwest Iceland, featuring a mix of reef and kelp forest topography. Divers can explore depths ranging from 10 to 30 metres, with the shallower sections dominated by kelp that transitions into open reef as depth increases. Visibility typically ranges between 5 and 15 metres. Given the water temperatures of 4 to 11 degrees Celsius, drysuit experience and cold-water familiarity are essential. While currents are generally mild, divers must remain vigilant regarding surge and swell, which can develop rapidly. Due to dangerous surf and shore break conditions, boat entry is recommended over shore entry for this site.
