my GMTIIC in Iceland

just a couple pictures from my recent trip the Iceland and the Faroe Islands

GMT came in handy, as i had to make a timezone adjustment from canada to iceland, and again from iceland to the faroes, and then in reverse order.

I brought my GMT IIC to Iceland last year , too, for the same reason. I just didn't have the cajones for a dive.

Great country. I will go back again as my wife and I had an awesome time.

the dry suit pretty much guaranteed that i wouldn't be able to go any more than arms reach below the surface. and with 100m WR, i wasn't worried at all.

crawling around in lava tubes where at points i had to do a worm shuffle to get through some spots was a little scary cos i was afraid of scraping it, but it didn't end up being an issue.

i don't have any watch pics from when i was in the Faroe Islands, but i did climb most of the way up the tallest peak there called Slęttaratindur, and did some bird watching up some other mountains on the island of Mykines.

no watches, just great views

Love to see shots of our beloved SS sports models actually being used and enjoyed rather than people complaining about a hairline scratch on the clasp!

Silfra! I dived that a few years ago. I was wearing a Panerai on a NATO but even then it wouldn't fit outside the drysuit. So I left it with my wife while I did the dive.
