TRAVELER PHOTOS

Experience Silfra's pristine, crystal clear water while you dive between two continents.

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, a true bucket list dive.

The diving tour of Silfra is done in a dry suit, helping you to stay warm and dry inside the suit.

You will explore the four main parts of Silfra, the big crack, Silfra hall, Silfra Cathedral and the Silfra Lagoon. You will be able to touch the 2 continents at one point, don't forget to take a photo!

Silfra is located in Thingvellir National Park which is a Unesco heritage site. The beautiful park is one of the wonders on the famous Golden circle route.

The dive was a rewarding experience. My dive guide, Konrad, was a true professional. They take service to a whole new level. They completely assmenble your dive kit and dress you in your drysuit, hood and gloves. You basically show up and they handle everything. Top notch!

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Great team and organisation with high quality equipment. We dived with Briosh and he was both an excellent guide and photographer. Highly recommend buying the photos he takes of the experience.

One of the best dives I’ve ever done and I’ve been diving over 20 years. Our dive leader (Briosh) was great. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Even helped us kit up, a first for me. His enthusiasm made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. I’ve been to Iceland 4 times and this is my favourite excursion. Briosh informed us that there is another dive near by. That will be the top of our todo list next time. Already looking forward to it!

Snorkeled the Silfra divide. Dive.Is was well run and organized, they have a system in place and despite the fact that is all seems very repetitive and a little like pushing cattle, they managed to make it personal. Boris our guide was VERY helpful, witty and pushed out out in front of the other groups so we wouldn't be waiting on other snorkelers. The dive was interesting, cold, but we knew that going in. It was a DIFFERENT way to see the wonders of Iceland. When my dry suit leaked, so they gave me a free t-shirt, helped me get on post-dive in comfort. Got some great underwater footage.

I did the Silfra dive tour with Dive.is. They were great, and our guide Kevin was wonderful! He did a great job of helping us into and out of all the drysuit and dive gear and was very friendly. It was gorgeous and (as expected) very cold in the water. Would definitely recommend!

Perfect diving conditions with Konrad as our guide. Meeting point looked chaotic but worked very well and Konrad managed it all smoothly.
