Small-group scuba in Silfra, the crack between tectonic plates, with warm drysuits, expert PADI guidance, and hot cocoa after.

“We had Hugo as a guide, who was really friendly and calm. The whole team virtually dress you for the dive which was a strange experience but took some stress off for us new dry-suit divers. The van to change it was heated- very luxurious. Hugo gave us a solid breifing. The dive was absolutely incredible and we even saw a trout. We were the only scuba divers that day which was also a treat. Hugo led us at a steady pace and took a lot of photos. Hot chocolate afterwards was a nice warm up. Thanks guys.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 94 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $344

Silfra scuba tour with Reykjavik hotel pickup, dry-suit kit, small group care, and crystal-clear water between two continents.

“This was an amazing dive. However, if you've never dived in a wetsuit you need to be aware that it is quite different. Be prepared for much more weight. Also the dive goes up and down quite a bit so don't be surprized when you are almost at the surface.”

5.Thingvellir: Silfra Fissure Diving with Optional Pickup

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 73 reviews · 4 - 6 hours · from $281

Scuba in Þingvellir’s Silfra Fissure between tectonic plates, with crystal 100m visibility, full gear, and optional Reykjavik pickup.

“Diving Silfra is fenomenal. It is one for the bucketlist. I did it in the winter with my dry suit freezing as I got out of the cristal clear water. Not as cold as I expected. Not as long a dive but definitely worth every penny. The walk back can be a struggle. Btw, Guillaume, my guide, was great.”
