How about a dive between the European and American continents? Or a snorkle? Iceland is one of the best diving spots in the world because of its crystal clear waters providing amazing visibility.
The Silfra fissure is one of Iceland’s best kept secrets. Silfra, which is situated in the heart of the world's oldest parliament Thingvellir, is an otherworldly scene. The crystal clear water in the deep fissure gives you a feeling of being weightless as you float down with the lazy current.
A relaxing but exotic trip in an environment most will only encounter in their dreams
Frequently rated as one of the world's top ten dive sites, Silfra offers up to 100 meters of underwater visibility and is located right where the tectonic plates of Europe and America meet!
You can either dive or snorkel in Silfra, the snorkeling does not require any prior experience while you need a PADI licence (or the equivalent) for the diving. Both versions of the tour give you the relaxing unique experience of an underwater enviroment not to be found anywhere else.
Taking a dip in Silfra is a must-do during your stay in Iceland. While Silfra is our most popular diving site Iceland offers a lot of great ocean diving opportunities, we have a range of diving trips all over the country, lasting from only a few hours up to a full 10 day diving-trip around Iceland!
