Description

Discover the thrill of diving between two continents in Iceland at Silfra, located in the heart of Thingvellir National Park. This unique underwater adventure lets you explore the crystal-clear glacial waters that separate the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, offering visibility of over 100 meters.

Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from central Reykjavik, followed by a scenic drive to Thingvellir. Upon arrival, your expert guide, a certified PADI instructor, will provide you with all necessary drysuit diving equipment and a thorough safety briefing to ensure a comfortable and secure dive.

After gearing up in a heated changing van, you'll walk to the Silfra fissure and start your guided dive. Glide through the four mesmerizing sections of Silfra: the Big Crack, Silfra Hall, Silfra Cathedral, and Silfra Lagoon. Along the way, you'll have the chance to touch two continents at once—a true bucket list moment.

The tour includes all diving equipment, entrance fees, and a warming treat of hot chocolate and cookies after your dive. At the end of your underwater exploration, you'll be driven back to Reykjavik, making this an effortless and memorable experience from start to finish.

This tour is suitable for experienced divers with drysuit certification and good physical fitness. Due to the unique requirements, all participants must meet specific health and certification criteria. Secure your spot now for an unforgettable dive between continents—spaces are limited and fill quickly!
