Description
Embark on a private 3-hour Silfra diving tour, an exclusive adventure where you dive between the continents in the most transparent water in the world. Ideal for small groups of up to three people, this excursion is perfect for those seeking a personalized and serene underwater experience in Iceland's famed fissure.
Your diving adventure begins at the Silfra meeting point in Thingvellir National Park. Alternatively, for added convenience, opt for transportation from Reykjavik when booking.
If choosing the transport option, the trip extends to approximately 5 hours, including a one-hour drive each way. During the journey, your guide will enrich your understanding of Iceland's unique geology and cultural history.
Enjoy the flexibility of a private tour, with start times that fit your schedule, available day or night. As this excursion caters exclusively to your group, you'll benefit from a more intimate interaction with your guide and the ability to explore at a pace that suits you.
Before the dive, your guide will provide all necessary equipment for diving, including high-quality BARE and Aqualung brand SCUBA equipment and APEX or Aqualung regulators.
You'll receive a detailed briefing of the dive site, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. Please note all divers must have dry suit diving certification or 10 logged dry suit dives within two years of the Silfra tour date, with written proof signed by a diving instructor.
The dive lasts about 30-40 minutes, reaching a maximum depth of 59 feet (18 meters). Silfra, a fissure between the North American and Eurasian continental plates, boasts unparalleled underwater visibility, sometimes exceeding 328 feet (100 meters).
You'll explore the four main parts of Silfra, starting with the Big Crack, the narrowest section of the fissure. Next, you'll enter Silfra Hall, where the clarity and colors of the water become even more apparent. In the Silfra Cathedral, the deepest part of the dive, experience the 'chandelier effects' of rising bubbles from divers ahead. Conclude your dive in the tranquil Silfra Lagoon, with its endless visibility.
Post-dive, warm up with hot cocoa and cookies, a comforting end to your underwater adventure. You'll then walk back along a 250-meter path to the starting point, with assistance available for your gear if needed.
The tour concludes at Silfra, or if you've chosen the Reykjavik transfer option, with a drive back to the city.
Enhance your booking with optional extras like PADI courses, souvenirs, or a private Golden Circle excursion.
