SWIMMING WITH RED THROATED DIVERS (SMÅLOM)

Once again I've had the pleasure to to travel with MrJanGear Equipment for Photographers and test out the new version of their floating hide, Version II. This time I spent almost 50 hours in ice-cold Icelandic waters during an intensive week at Icelands north western corner. The new version of the floating hide offers improved features like : possibility to lower the camera even lower to the water, light weight and easy operation in use, light weight (5,3 kg) and super compact for travelling and also improved details on the tent cover. The combo works really great and has given me incredible nature experiences beeing "invisible" on Icelandic waters. 

Beeing so light it is however sensitive to waves (camera movement), so I recommend relatively flat water and also primarily walking the bottom compared with swimming.

Red Throated Divers breed in small freshwater ponds and on Iceland they find their food in the sea. All feedings were Small Sandeel (småsil / Ammodytes tobianus). This fish species is extremely important for food-chains in the sea, ... for both fish & birds ... and man compete with them.
