The Details
Are you looking to unleash the adventurer in you? And explore the unique nature of Iceland? Then this is the perfect adventure day for you and your family or friends.
Description
Experience Silfra's pristine, crystal clear water while you dive between the Eurasian and American continental plates. Upon arrival at Thingvellir National Park, your guide will introduce you to the unique geological and cultural history of Silfra before giving you a detailed briefing of the dive site. You guide will then assist you into your dry suit and setting up the dive equipment. We will explore the four main parts of Silfra, the big crack, Silfra hall, Silfra Cathedral and the Silfra Lagoon.
After the dive we will warm up with hot chocolate and cookies.
Tour Itinerary
Diving in Silfra
Silfra is a crack in the Earth ripped open by the movement of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The crystal clear glacial water filling the Silfra fissure has been filtered for decades through underground lava rock, providing over 100 meters of underwater visibility. The underwater scenery that you experience in Silfra is found nowhere else on Earth.
We will do a one-tank dive in Silfra for approximately 30-35 minutes. Additional time is needed for changing in and out of the dry suits.
