Description
Book this thrilling adventure in Iceland and dive where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet at the stunning Silfra Fissure. The filtered glacial water has visibility of up to 394 feet (120 meters), making it one of the clearest dive sites in the world.
This Silfra diving tour is ideal for certified divers looking for a truly unique experience in Iceland, combining geology, crystal-clear water, and unforgettable underwater views. It is also a small group tour, ensuring a more personal experience and plenty of time with your guide.
The Silfra Fissure continues to widen slightly each year and is filled with crystal-clear glacial water. This exceptional clarity comes from water that travels through lava fields, naturally filtering along the way. It takes decades for the water to reach Silfra from Langjokull Glacier, making it one of the most pristine dive sites on the planet.
Your Silfra diving experience begins with a pickup from your accommodation or a designated bus stop in Reykjavik City Center. During the one-hour drive to Thingvellir National Park, your guide will introduce you to the unique geological and cultural history of Silfra and the surrounding Thingvellir area.
All divers on this Silfra diving tour must have dry suit diving certification or have logged at least 10 dry suit dives within two years of the Silfra dive date. This must be confirmed with written proof from a diving instructor or a logbook with an instructor’s signature.
Divers must understand English instructions and be 18 years or older. All participants are required to read, complete, and sign a diving medical statement before the tour. Divers aged 60 years or older must provide a physician’s approval confirming they are fit to dive.
The dive lasts approximately 35 to 40 minutes. A gentle current carries you through the fissure to the Silfra Lagoon. After exiting the water, you will walk about 1,148 feet (350 meters) back to the car park, where hot chocolate and biscuits will be waiting to help you warm up before returning to Reykjavik.
Do not miss the chance to dive in some of the clearest water in the world with this Silfra diving tour, including hot chocolate and transfers from Reykjavik. Check availability by choosing a date.
