Deep Into The Blue - Diving in Silfra Fissure

Pick-up will start at 08:30 from your Reykjavik pick-up point. Please note, that the pick-up can take up to 30 minutes.

On arrival to Silfra, dive guides will give a thorough dive briefing. This will include details about diving procedures, signs and signals, national park rules, your equipment, the route, and important information on how to use the drysuit.

Once you're geared up, it's time to get in the water. Entry to the Silfra Fissure is via steps that lead onto a large metal platform, where you'll stand waist-deep in the water to acclimatize. Take the time to splash your face and have a quick drink of the refreshing Icelandic water before the dive begins. After each diver has done a weight check with the dive guide, it's time to begin!

During this scuba diving experience, you'll be taken through each of the four sections of Silfra. Throughout the dive, there are plenty of opportunities to have a good look around and explore to your heart's content. The first section near the entrance is the Silfra Deep Crack, which is long and narrow as it winds to the left and right. This then widens slightly into what we call the Silfra Hall, which in turn leads to the Silfra Cathedral. The Cathedral is the deepest point that we'll dive to in Silfra at 22 m (72 ft) below the surface. After the Cathedral, we turn left into the Silfra Lagoon, which is incredibly beautiful and the final part of the dive. On the exit platform, your guide will help you remove your fins, and you'll have a chance to warm yourself up with roughly a 300m (984 feet) walk back to the car park. We can always remove your weights or even your gear if you have trouble walking with your gear on, and you can also have a rest back at the visitor entrance on the way to the car park.

Once back in the car park, we'll take the scuba gear off you so you can fully dry off. While you process the dive and everything you've experienced, warm your hands on mugs of soothing hot chocolate and fill up on cookies.

Return time: You will return to Reykjavik around 18:00 approximately.

Dry suit sizes: While we would like everyone to join our tour, our gear sizes reflect what is available on the market, and it is important guests are within the size parameters. This ensures the safety equipment can serve its purpose and keep guests from getting cold in the glacial water.

Kindly note: We are using top-quality neoprene drysuits. However, no dry suit in the world can be 100% guaranteed to stay dry unless it is custom-made, especially for you. There is a small chance of water entering the suit. Please bring a spare set of clothes just in case.
