Tipping in Iceland

[hazmat]

From everything I read, there is no tipping in Iceland. Does anyone know if this also pertains to divemasters? I can't find anything on it.

Thanks.

I just had family come back from there. There is indeed no tipping. As for DM I dont know, but everyone else no tip.

Thanks. I've been here since yesterday but still can't find out about the diving. I guess they didn't dive?

There's diving in Iceland? BRRRRRR!

It's the only cold dive I'd ever consider. Google for "Iceland Diving Tectonic Plates". Someday, I'll leave the warm waters in Florida, USA to dive Iceland.

Hazmat,

I'd just ask the DM (assuming you do WANT to tip).

Silfra. And yeah, I could just ask the DM. Feels awkward, though.

You're very brave to consider diving in Iceland!

I was under the impression that the Silfra Crack was only for super-advanced technical divers. Not true?

The information I saw on the site said it was only 18 meters, clear water, and only had a mild current. Other than being very cold, it didn't sound all that difficult. I didn't do much research though, since dive trips to Iceland aren't in my budget anytime soon.

Hazmat's going to be one lucky diver.

Not true that its for technical divers. Even though its with drysuits, you don't need any experience, though some helps. It's a pretty amazing experience. You're actually not legally allowed to go below 18 meters.
