No, but was planning on a trip this year when other things got in the way. A couple of good mates of mine have dived it. It is emphatically NOT a cave but the fissure between two plates. You are effectively diving inbetween two continents ! The water is VERY cold - I think it was 3-4 degrees when they went there. Dry gloves essential. And not cheap, but then Iceland never is. They had a poke around a few 'caverns' which didn't go very far - not surprising as it is not cave karst.
In short, yes it is worth it and is on my hit list for next year (probably !!)
