“Diving Silfra is fenomenal. It is one for the bucketlist. I did it in the winter with my dry suit freezing as I got out of the cristal clear water. Not as cold as I expected. Not as long a dive but definitely worth every penny. The walk back can be a struggle. Btw, Guillaume, my guide, was great.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 64 reviews · 3 - 5 hours · from $289

Swim through Silfra’s crystal-clear fissure between tectonic plates, with dry-suit gear, a PADI guide, Thingvellir views, and hot chocolate.

“Als je van duiken houdt, wil je ook hier duiken geweldig! Je zicht wordt beperkt door de rotsen en niet door het water zelf. Lijkt wel een aquarium zo helder. En de kou valt reuze in het geleverde droogpak. Ik had het geluk dat ik de enige was, waardoor ik alleen met de gids zwom. Super relaxed en daardoor kon ze ook veel onderwater foto’s maken. Zou het zo zo weer doen”
