Silfra Fissure Freshwater Scuba Diving Tour From Reykjavik

About this activity
The Silfra dive tour starts with a morning Reykjavik pick up. From the capital you will head towards Silfra fissure, located in the heart of Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Upon arrival to the park your certified dive master will provide you with a safety briefing and all the necessary diving gear needed for a safe and enjoyable diving experience in the magical fissure of Silfra. Once ready you will start your first dry-suit dive for the day. The current in the fissure is very slow and offers enough time to explore the different lava formations of the rift. The blue color of the water and visibility are unique in the world. Often, the density of the water itself limits the visibility. After the first dive you will warm up a little bit, before its time for your second and last dive for the day which will take you deeper down into the crystal clear fissure.

Your Silfra diving experience concludes with a drop off back to Reykjavik.

We, my wife Diane and I, Jack were in Iceland in January and as a diver found the idea of diving there irresistible, I wasnt disappointed. We were picked up on time from our hotel by Julian who proved to be a great guide making the journey and the day interesting and my introduction to dry suit diving easy. The kit was good quality in in great condition, proving warmer then I had thought, with water temperatures around 2 Degrees C. Although generally a shallow dive,1.5m to 15m the scenery both above and below water proved to be fantastically unusual even without any life. The water was typically clear with the volcanic rock giving an opportunity for very different style photographs. We managed two dives that day, the second, just three of us including Julian, saw a search for and the finding of a Gopro Hero lost during the first dive. Great day leaving Silfra at dusk.

the divemasters were great and very patient. I did find that diving in a dry suit isn't the easiest however, the divemasters made you feel at ease.

The time before the trip was a bit annoying, as they did not accept my diving-logbook as proof of the OWD and insisted on the plastic card. It took us more than 1 hour to fix the spelling mistake with PADI. Otherwise I can recommend Arctic Adventures and Katja as tour guide very much. The equipment ist very good and they take great care to make sure you are fine. The dives can be accustomed to your wishes. There is one major route you enter the crack and then there are 2 options. We took two dives of about 30 min. each. Maximum depth was 14m for a short time 18m is maximum allowed, so there was plenty of air left and you do not need to worry about decompression sickness etc. The dive itself is not difficult, you should bring some experience. It is not the right place to learn to dive - At the diving site there are new platforms to enter and exit the water very comfortably now. There are many people at the diving site, mainly snorkeling but also diving, but that did not impair the vision. The fissure, the rocks, the fairytale world in the lake - amazing!
