Description

Discover the thrill of scuba diving between two continents at the Silfra fissure, located in Iceland’s stunning Thingvellir National Park. This unique underwater adventure lets you glide through crystal-clear waters in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by mesmerizing colors and geological wonders.

Begin your day with convenient hotel pickup from Reykjavik or meet your expert guide directly at Silfra. After a comprehensive safety briefing and gearing up in a dry suit, you’ll join a small group, ensuring personal attention from your certified PADI instructor throughout the experience.

Descend into Silfra’s four breathtaking sections, starting with the narrow Big Crack, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are within arm’s reach. Continue into Silfra Hall and Cathedral, marveling at the vivid underwater hues and exceptional visibility that can reach over 150 meters.

Your dive concludes in the serene Silfra Lagoon, where endless clarity reveals the fissure’s full beauty. After exiting the water, warm up with hot chocolate and cookies, and enjoy time to chat with your guide or review photos from your adventure before returning to Reykjavik if you selected hotel transport.

This unforgettable tour lasts approximately three hours and accommodates groups of up to 15, with all diving equipment, entry fees, and refreshments included. Secure your spot now for a once-in-a-lifetime dive between continents—spaces fill quickly!
