What To Expect
Dive into an unforgettable adventure in Iceland’s glacial waters! The Silfra Fissure, located in Þingvellir National Park is celebrated as one of the world’s top diving spots. This 6-hour guided tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to scuba dive between the continental plates of Eurasia and North America, an extraordinary experience found nowhere else.
Explore all four sections of Silfra, beginning with the narrow Silfra Deep Crack and progressing to the majestic Silfra Cathedral, where you’ll dive to a depth of 22 meters (72 feet). The journey concludes at the Silfra Lagoon, where the crystal-clear waters and ethereal blue hues create a magical finale.
With visibility exceeding 100 meters and breathtaking underwater rock formations, Silfra’s glacial waters offer a world like no other. Whether you’re mesmerized by the vibrant colors or the unique geological wonder of diving between two tectonic plates, this experience is as awe-inspiring as it is unique.

It is recommended that your most recent dive has been within the last 2 years before diving in Silfra, as this dive is rated as a challenging dive.. Since you will be wearing snorkeling/dive mask to see underwater, there can be nothing in the way of the seal to keep them from filling up with water; That is, you cannot wear glasses underneath the mask; you will have to go without them, so wear contact lenses or bring your own goggles with prescription..
