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.

Got to staging area near Silfra a little early and got to watch the Staff prepare the Divers in the group ahead of us. It was amazing how quickly they got everyone safety briefed, into their gear, buddy checked, and off to the dive entry point. When it was our turn (My 20 yo Son and I), Linn our Guide, orchestrated us through the same preparation with what seemed like an Army of helpers. The dive was awesome! Visibility went on and on! Linn guided us though and she took lots of pictures! I would Highly recommend and give Linn our Guide much respect!
Direct booking on their web site
phenominal experience. so fun. not cold at all due to the two layer of dive suits. the guide from germany, I think her name was joana and the guide from greece named nick. loved them. so nice and funny. great team. thank you.
What an amazing dive experience! It is nothing like I’ve ever done. Our guide Alex, was informative and entertaining. If you have a dry suit certificate and you’re in Iceland, don’t miss this.
We had a great time with Veli! He was amazing!
Absolutely amazing. Jana and Elsa were wonderful. They showed us everything we needed to know and provided all the gear. They were patient and professional. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about doing this!
We had a tremendous experience with Quim during our snorkelling session. Quims preparation and tuition was excellent and we had the very best experience, we would highly recommend him and this experience
They take care of you completely. Would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Iceland whether you’re snorkeling or scuba diving awesome experience.
They do everything for you I mean everything great operation highly recommend! Very professional very well ran organization.
Amazing experience! The visibility is incredible. The equipment was brilliant, wore a thermal base layer underneath and then you’re given the dry suit undersuit and the dry suit equipment. Diogo our guide was perfect and the whole team was fantastic, super smooth.
Sara, our dive guide, was super informative and helpful. She took awesome pictures of our dive and made to cold, rainy dive much more fun! There were changing vans but be prepared for all sexes to be changing in the same van. Silfra was awesome. The visibility was amazing and truly a unique diving experience!
From the first point of contact the staff were friendly and professional taking time to explain each step and ensuring that all our equipment fitted properly and was in good working order. Special mention to Anezka who went above and beyond to ensure that everyone in our party was safe and comfortable, even adjusting suits and masks to ensure a great watertight fit. She talked to each of us regularly through the entire route ensuring we were getting the maximum from the experience. A great asset to the company and I would definitely use them again for future trips.
Fantastic opportunity, great team of staff, very friendly and helpful. It was a great experience and a huge bucket list tik off while visiting Iceland. The water wasn’t as cold as we had expected and the kit was great to keep us warm but highly advise wearing your own layers underneath to help and the bit chocolate and biscuits at the end was perfect!
We loved diving with Dive.IS. They were incredibly attentive and everyone was so nice. I never felt more like royalty 🤣🤣. And if you get the chance to dive with Elsa you are in for a treat. She is really funny and friendly. She took amazing photos and practically saved me and my clumsy self 3 times. You will never be safer.
It was a serene experience! Very clear water and super cool to see the fissures! Our guide Gabe was super friendly and helpful and fun!
Gabe was extremely responsible and patient in explaining all the details, which made me feel very comfortable and confident. The dive experience was amazing, and I truly enjoyed every moment. I would absolutely love to come back and dive with him again!
Well... my first TripAdvisor review ever! No need to say, that the price tag on that tour, especially combined with the drysuit course, was exceptionally pricey (even more than my flight + rental car combined). But that's all I have on the downside. It was absolutely worth it! There's surely no other place like this in the world, so it's an experience for a lifetime. The dive itself took only 30 minutes, dressing up and getting out of that suit again plus waiting and the dive was around 2 hours. We were a group of three scuba divers and we were taken on the dive by Elsa, a very experienced trainer. I felt safe the whole dive, even though I'm surely not the most experienced diver (only 8 dives so far). She was also pretty funny, of course not under water, she switched to absolutely professional mode and she was suddenly completely mute (I wonder why) 😏 Oh and the staff was extremely helpful, we got the full service, including dressing up. I totally recommend that for everyone in good physical condition. The walk back from the exit isn't long, but the gear is *really* weighty!!! So I'm telling everyone at home and probably if someone wants to join in, I may return regardless of the price tag 😅🙈🤷
Quim was amazing! He was so friendly, helpful and made me as comfortable as I could be in my suit…. The experience was so interesting and unique. Lovely touch at the end with hot chocolate and biscuits.
Quim was our guide. He was very thorough on explaining what we were going to do , but we also had a laugh , he took amazing photos! He checked in on us and answered all my questions. Would Def recommend and come back!!
Thank you so much to Boris, everything from the welcome to the end was amazing and gorgeous. He was very helpful and caring. I recommend it 100%
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.
We dived today in Silfra with expert guide Veli. He is completely charming but also extremely professional. He was an expert guide who has helped to make our dive experience one we will always remember. Grateful thanks to Veli from Jacob and Steve
Nikos was our guide. He was the most amazing and helpful guide. He kept us safe and was great fun. We were slightly late getting there and they waited for us. I would recommend him and dive.is to anyone for a magical experience.
Great experience, and great tour guide. Admission fee was reasonable for the experience. The tour was about an hour with about 40 minutes being in the water.
Boris was great.. the best!! . We had an amazing experience, definetivley worth it .. he showed us all and had a lot of patience.
SO COOL! Veli was a great guide and once in a lifetime views!! i would do this again in a heartbeat. hot coco was a good ending and pics were amazing! love!
Veil was amazing. Such a great experience. Make sure to bring a thermal layer but other than that, they provide everything for an amazing experience!!!
Diving with Shenae was an amazing experience. She was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole dive feel fun, and unforgettable.
I had a great time nsorkeling! The crew was amazing and helpful. Especially Nicos, he was very caring and informative!!
The water clarity was unbelievable and our guide Nikos was super friendly and helpful. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
Wonderful experience!! Definitely do it again and recommend to anybody. Veli was an amazing guide! Don't worry about the cold. Just do it !
My wife and I had an amazing time! Believe was our dive guide. Super relaxing and an awesome site. Cannot recommend this dive enough.
Overall, an excellent experience. Our guide, Shenae, was exceptional. She was patient, kind, accommodating, and eased my anxiety about diving in cold water. The Silfra fissure is incredible. Absolutely worth the chilly fingers and toes to see the brilliant colors and dive in the crystal clear water. Do not skip this on your Iceland itinerary!
Diego and shenae are so nice and friendly Thank u so much !!!!!!!!!!!!! Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
Great tour guides. Love shenae and Diego they were super welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. Encapsulates a great tour guide.
Diogo and shenae were great tour guides, felt very taken care of, worth the money, hot chocolate and biscuits after as well!
This was amazing. Filip was the perfect guide- funny helpful and great at putting you at ease. This trip is must-do. I'd recommend it to anyone
Amazing experience. Unlike anything I've done before.Veli our guide was brilliant, very funny and nice! He made this amazing experience even better!
It was an amazing experience. My guide was Sara and she was amazing. Very caring and helped everyone. The water is amazing and so clear. Sara also got great pictures of everyone. We all had so much fun. Niko was also so amazing and let me stay in the water a little longer and I got out with his group. I appreciate Sara, Niko, and everyone else that helped the experience go by so smoothly.
Shenae was an amazing guide and diver! She made the experience even better than what I was expecting! If you want to have a once and a lifetime dive, I absolutely recommend booking with Dive.IS. They were super flexible and responded quickly to all questions.
This was a wonderful experience! They guided us through the whole experience. Quim was an amazing tour guide, appreciated his enthusiasm. The snorkeling was an unforgettable experience, would recommend!
Diving in Silfra really was an awesome experience and this activity was a perfect way to experience it. We received assistance to put all the gear on and recommendations on what to wear and what to keep for after the dive to stay warm. Shenae gave us a really complete briefing with details on what Silfra is, the dive itinerary, what to expect and what to do if the cold is too intense during the dive. Shenae's attention on every details made me feel safe and in the right hands and I was totally serene going into the cold water. At the end of the dive, expect a small walk with your gear to get back to the meeting point where hot chocolate and biscuits are waiting.
Shenae was fantastic and the tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland. I’d recommend this tour to anyone going in the future.
We had an awesome time with Shenae as our instructor! This was our first dry suit dive (outside of our dive course), and she was helpful with providing us tips and encouragement through your experience. We had a fantastic time and felt safe throughout the dive. Would highly recommend this dive and Shenae!
We had such an amazing time doing the two different dive sites! Our tour guides were Diogo and Wilfred and they were spectacular! They were so fun and helpful, and just really great people to be around. Dive.IS also has the whole tour down to a T. There’s a village there that gets you suited up and ready for your dive that will also help disassemble everything. Thanks for such a great time, Diogo and Wilfred!
Amazing trip with Shenae guiding us! Going again next time for sure. Not cold and scary as we had feared. The whole team was so helpful
Amazing experience! Wilfred and Shenae the guides were fantastic as well! Great time spent in the water and explaining explaining environments!
A beautiful site with exceptional visibility. Very well organized, the team setting up kit didn’t rest until we were all tucked up and toasty in the 3’c water. Our guide Sara did a great job checking we were all safe wile snapping away with her camera. The hot chocolate and biscuits gave us all a very welcome sugar hit to warm us at the end of the dive. A great team at dive.is who worked hard to ensure we all enjoyed our experience
Diving between the tectonic plates at Silfra was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The water was crystal clear and absolutely breathtaking. The DIVE.IS team was incredibly professional and made sure we were comfortable and properly equipped (getting the wetsuit over the dry suit definitely takes some teamwork!). Our guide, Filip, was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. He gave clear instructions, helped us feel confident in the gear, and offered tips for making the swim smooth and enjoyable. The hot chocolate he handed out afterward was the perfect touch to warm up! I can’t recommend this experience enough. The suit’s neck seal is tight (it has to be to keep water out!), so it can feel a bit restrictive at first — but once you’re in the water, any discomfort disappears. Totally worth it, especially with a guide like Filip and such a professional team.
