New ‘James Bond’ scooter dive experience

Experienced divers can now bring out their inner James Bond and speed through Icelandic waters with an underwater Torpedo 3500 DPV scooter.

The new experience is offered by Icelandic operator Iceland Excursions and includes two different dives within Thingvellir National Park.

The first dive uses the Torpedo 3500 DPV scooters, made famous in the underwater fight sequence in the Bond film ‘Thunderball’, to reach David’s Ravine located at the bottom of Iceland’s largest lake, Lake Thingvellir.

The second dive explores the Silfra Rift, a crack between the Eurasian and the American tectonic plates that are gradually moving apart by 2cm each year. The crystal-clear blue water has visibility of over 100m making Silfra one of the best dive sites in the world.

The scooter tours costs £185 per person and includes two guided dives with certified PADI instructors, all equipment, warm drinks and snacks between the dives, pick up from Reykjavik hotels and high resolution pictures of the dive on CD.
