MEET YOUR GUIDE ON SITE OR INCLUDE TRANSFER

Diving & snorkeling in Silfra in the national park Þingvellir are spectacular experiences. The water is as clear as possible, and even though it is only 4° C, you will be warm and well-protected by the dry suit. Our partner is a 5-star PADI dive centre in Reykjavík. With roots back to the Blue Army, an underwater and coastal cleanup project established in the 90s.

Þingvellir National Park is among the highlights of Iceland’s most famous road trip route, the Golden Circle. You can book your snorkelling or diving adventure and take your road trip to another level. You can meet your dive guide at the site fifteen minutes before your tour starts at 11:00 or 13:00. – Or you can book your dive or snorkling trip with pickup from Reykjavík.

Silfra in Þingvellir is a dive site highly ranked in several dive magazines and forums for decades. The water is pristine, clear groundwater streaming into the lava ravine where you hover between the continental plates. The underground water streams have travelled through the lava for decades before coming into the ravine, where you can slowly drift through and enjoy visibility that is as good as it can be. In fact, your visibility will not be limited by sediments and particles but by the landscape itself: the continental plate edges. The water is cold at 4° C, and you will wear a dry suit.

For the diving you must be a certified dry suit diver or have at least 10 logged and confirmed dry suit dives in the last 2 years. If you are not certified dry suit diver, you can do the PADI dry speciality course and Silfra combo in two days. You will be diving in Silfra with your instructor on the second day.

Note: to take part in diving or snorkeling in Silfra you have to sign a medical statement and provide approval from a physician. Documents for diving are here and documents for snorkeling are here.
