What you can expect

With amazingly clear glacial water and situated between 2 continental tectonic plates, the Silfra Fissure offers one-of-a-kind scuba diving that cannot be missed. Explore an ethereal, underwater world as you make your way through one of the most unique sites in the world.

Depart from Reykjavik with your group, heading towards the UNESCO World Heritage Site - Thingvellir National Park. The Silfra Fissure lies in the heart of the park, at the rift between the North American and Eurasian continents. As soon as you're suited up, slip into the fresh waters between the plates and enter a brand-new world.

Below the water's surface is around 150m visibility thanks to the cold waters from the Langjökull glacier, which are filtered through porous underground lava for up to 100 years before seeping into Thingvellir's underground wells. Make your way between the jagged faces of 2 continents, venturing to a depth of 59 feet (18 m) to see all that Silfra has to offer before returning to Reykjavik.

  • Please note: This is a challenging dive where you need to be capable of carrying heavy equipment up to 400m.

  • It is highly recommended that your last dive was within 24 months ago. If your last dive was not within this time period we recommend taking a refreshment course before diving in Silfra.
