Itinerary
Upon arrival 15 minutes before the start time, you will check in with the guides at the meeting point at Silfra. Once your group of max 3 divers has been formed, your guide will give you your drysuit, warm undersuit and diving equipment. Your guide will explain how to use this equipment and how to ensure that you will be warm and comfortable during your tour. You can change in our heated Changing Van and the guide will help you with putting all the gear on. We recommend wearing long underwear and thick socks.
Your guide will brief you on Silfra and safety as well as information about Thingvellir national park, the tectonic plates and the continents. The briefing and gearing up takes approx 1 hour.
You will walk 5 minutes to Silfra and start your 30 - 45 minute scuba diving tour of Silfra Hall, Silfra Cathedral, and Silfra Lagoon. Make sure you remember to take a photo of you touching the continents, a bucket list moment.
After the dive in the cold water, we warm you up with hot cocoa and cookies. This is your chance to chat with your guide, ask any questions you might have and take a look at the pics taken during the tour.

Truly a unique experience with DIVE.is. The tour guide Wilmar was fantastic and fun. A lot less cold than expected and very cool to see the different sights.

I flew into Iceland specifically to dive Silfra as it has been a bucket-list dive for a while. Online photos of Silfra look magical - it is even better in person. Konrad was a fantastic tour guide, truly making the experience special. Quick, professional, safe, funny and to-the-point; I would dive with him again anytime.

Very happy that I experienced. However, not for one who has any claustrophobic tendencies. Restrictive gear and cumbersome. Groups are small (6) but wish I would have done private.
Very cool seeing the plates and rock.

Amazing experience! The water was beautifully crystal clear. Seeing the divide in the plates was really cool. Our guide, Quim, was funny and a lot of fun :)

This was a great experience. Anna gave clear instructions, the dry suits kept most of us dry and the view in the water was super clear.
