Overview

Dive into an unforgettable adventure in Iceland’s glacial waters! The Silfra Fissure, located in Þingvellir National Park is celebrated as one of the world’s top diving spots. This 6-hour guided tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to scuba dive between the continental plates of Eurasia and North America, an extraordinary experience found nowhere else.
Explore all four sections of Silfra, beginning with the narrow Silfra Deep Crack and progressing to the majestic Silfra Cathedral, where you’ll dive to a depth of 22 meters (72 feet). The journey concludes at the Silfra Lagoon, where the crystal-clear waters and ethereal blue hues create a magical finale.
With visibility exceeding 100 meters and breathtaking underwater rock formations, Silfra’s glacial waters offer a world like no other. Whether you’re mesmerized by the vibrant colors or the unique geological wonder of diving between two tectonic plates, this experience is as awe-inspiring as it is unique.

Silfra

During this scuba diving adventure, you’ll explore all four sections of Silfra. The journey begins with the Silfra Deep Crack, a narrow and winding passage near the entrance. As the dive continues, the crack opens slightly into the Silfra Hall, which leads to the Silfra Cathedral—the deepest point of the dive at 22 meters (72 feet) below the surface. After the Cathedral, we head into the stunning Silfra Lagoon, the final section of the dive. At the exit platform, your guide will assist you in removing your fins, followed by a short 300-meter (984-foot) walk back to the car park. If needed, we can remove your weights or gear to make the walk easier, and there’s an option to rest at the visitor entrance along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions (9)

Q: Will I get seasick on Dive the Divide: Silfra Fissure Scuba Tour | Reykjavik Pickup?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
