Avelino Alvarez, Guide
I am a 35 years old guide and instructor from A Guarda, Galicia, Spain. I started diving as a professional in 2018 in Koh Tao, Thailand. As soon as I started working as an instructor I discovered a new way of life and real passion. Since then, I never stopped travelling and working in different countries such as Thailand, Mexico, US, Spain, Egypt... But after all these trips and places I found my place here in Iceland, its crystal clear waters and amazing landscapes. That's something out of this world! See you at Silfra!

"A great addition to our holiday and a fantastic experience. Veli, our guide was very, very good; calm, knowledgeable and made everybody in our group feel settled. We had two 13 year old boys with us and they loved it too.
Overall a very well organised, professional set-up ... and the hot chocolate was delicious.""My partner and I went to snorkel in Silfra with Dive.is and Veli, a spanish instructor on July 2024. The tour was fabulous and Veli was super engaging and pro active. We really like the explanation and Veli´s enthusiasm, as well as the espectacular views of the tectonics plates and the crystalline water ! It was great to meet this incredible spot by the hand of such professional divers!"
