Itinerary
You will be picked up in Reykjavik and drive for about 45 minutes to Thingvellir National Park. Once your group of max 3 divers has been formed, your guide will give you your drysuit 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 the unique geological and cultural history of Thingvellir national park, and the continental tectonic plates. 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 the four main parts of Silfra: the Big Crack, Silfra Hall, Silfra Cathedral, and Silfra Lagoon. Make sure you remember to take a photo of you touching the continents, a bucket list moment.

This was an amazing, seamless experience from pickup to drop-off. The dive guide arrived at the pick-up point right on time and gave me a full rundown of what to expect for the dives (Silfra and Dav). On site, the team quickly got us prepped and ready, and then we were off to the dive. Everything went smoothly, and I could not have been happier with the experience. I will definitely use them again on my next visit.
Wow such an experience! That was simply amazing, the colors, the light, the overall intense feeling. The dive was only 30 minutes but it’s worth it. My wife took the snorkeling tour and loved it as well. Highly recommended!
I took the bus transfer from bus stop number 9 in town. The pick up was seamless. We went to the dive site and all the gear was in great shape. The service was professional and organised. Elsa our guide was a great communicator with a professional yet caring personality. I felt very comfortable with her guiding us. The dive was a sensory overload and delivered everything on the brochure. Elsa took photos and verified my Padi dive log same day. Overall a great experience.
Dive.IS is a top notch organization! I reached out to customer service several times before the dive. They were welcoming and thorough. On snorkel day, EVERY step was organized and well done, from pickup to drop-off. The entire staff worked together seamlessly to provide a great experience!
Once I put my face in the water, I was mesmerized by the views. I wished there wasn't a current, as I wanted to stay and enjoy the clear water stretching as far as I could see. My guide, Anaiza, kept the tour light-hearted from instructions to snorkeling! If only the dry suits weren't so uncomfortable! But, once I saw the views, I forgot about the suit. Definitely a good way to understand all the fissures you see around Iceland.
The best experience! Wilfred was an amazing and very helpful guide!
Excellent dive. Excellent experience. Excellent guide. Veli guided me through Silfra and took great pictures of me and my experience like the professional he is. I’d highly recommend making sure you add this dive to your Iceland itinerary and check it off your bucket list!
Don’t think about doing this…just do it. You won’t regret it. What an incredible experience. 10/10 Nikos from DIVE.IS was incredible and made the whole experience fun.
I had a great time on the dive. My first dive after certification. My dive master Elsa really knew her job and did great. And a shout out to James for getting me through my certification.
My friend and I thought snorkeling at Silfra was such an amazing experience. It was a lot less cold than we expected, especially after Reddit nearly scaring us away from doing it in December. Veli was a great guide and we felt safe and well informed for the experience. Highly recommend!
Sara,love you~I have only swum in the swimming pool a few times, so I felt a little scared when I went down to the water. 😬bad at it but can't resist playing. At the same time, my fever just subsided in the morning, and I was soon exhausted (don't imitate it. Although this project is very safe, everyone is still based on their own physical condition), but Sara was protecting me all the way, and at the same time, she didn't forget to take photos. my friends with me have a very good sense of experience, which is an unforgettable experience. I will miss you, 🫶🏻🥰Sara.
The Silfra snorkeling experience was unforgettable. The crystal-clear water is something you have to see to believe. Veli made it even better: super friendly, fun, and kept the whole group relaxed while still making everything feel safe and smooth. An amazing experience all around!
What a great experience! Diego is a wonderful Dive Master that thoroughly certified me in Dry Suit before diving between the plates. Thank you, Diego and Dive.Is.
Very professional operation. My instructor, Nikos, was absolutely incredible! I was really nervous about the tightness of the wetsuit around my neck and he was sooo patient and kind. If it wasn’t for his calming manner and patience I likely wouldn’t have made it into the water! The whole team was really friendly and helpful. Highly, highly recommend.
The whole experience is wonderful and Diogo is a very good guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour unforgettable!
It was an amazing experience! Silfra Fissure is gorgeous! And Diogo is a great guide, super helpful, patient and friendly! It was great to have him as our guide!
Amazing experience, recommend it for all divers! Diogo is the best instructor to have! The view is so clean and clear, one of the best dives I had
Amazing experience wiith fantastic views. Our tour guide Veli was knowledgeable and gave clear instructions. All staff were helpful with donning and doffing the wetsuits too!
This was on my Bucket List to do. I visited Iceland in 2003 and didn’t do it and regretted it ever since. So today was a dream come true and my PADI Divemaster Nikos from dive.is was absolutely fantastic! He took such great care of his divers. A great briefing! I stayed dry throughout the dive! And hot chocolate at the end of the dive. The dive itself was totally awesome ending with an almost tropical lagoon. Stunning! Thank you everyone for making this so special. My daughter did the guided snorkel whilst I did the dive.
Visibility was really good, the rental equipment well maintained and guides professional. The only problem I had was my gopro's old battery draining very fast due to water being cold
This had some of the most beautiful and unique scenery in the world. Shenae and her team were really kind and patient, helping us get properly geared up and ready. Once in the water, Shenae showed us proper snorkelling technique and skillfully guided us through the water. She checked on each of us multiple times during the dive and took several photos of us.
What an amazing experience, all of the staff were fantastic and our guide Diogo was so patient and made the experience so enjoyable. The scenery is stunning!!!! Do it!
Diogo was a fantastic guide and getting suited up was real easy with them. It's so worth doing it and not as cold as you'd think. Crystal clear and beautiful.
This was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend it, for divers, it’s incredible, the viz is insane and it really feels like a bucket list item. I also saw the snorkelling and that looked good too and the others on the bus transfer with us said they really enjoyed the snorkelling experience. You see things you otherwise don’t get to see from land, like unique rock formations. Also, the water wasn’t too cold for this time of year! I used all of their equipment except mask. They had bare neoprene dry suits that they helped us get on and really really secured so they were watertight, I didn’t leak at all! Fourth element under suits and hood, RK3 fins. BCD etc were all set up beforehand, they also help you with getting in and out of the water which is a nice touch. Shenae, our guide was wonderful, she was so fun to be around and was very helpful. She guided us perfectly through the route but also did it with humour, which as a guide is so important as she made the whole thing really enjoyable and memorable, and her photos were really good too!
Wilfred drive me in one of the best moments of my life. Amazing experience diving between tectonic plates. He was very helpful and describe us the route of diving.
Great expeditie! Veli & Niko made it a 10 out of 10. Beautiful views en love the hot chocolate and cookies after. Would go again!
Nico and Sara were incredible went above and beyond! My husband and I loved this experience from beginning to end. Highly recommend
We had an incredible time diving at Silfra, and our guide Sara made the whole experience even better. She was very clear and detailed during the briefing, making sure we understood everything before getting in the water. Her smile, energy, and positive attitude really set the tone for the day. Sara and the team also helped us a lot with the drysuits and other gear, which made things so much easier and comfortable. Also, she took a lot of photos for us too. The entire experience was smooth, safe, and unforgettable. Highly recommend diving with her if you get the chance — she’s awesome!
I did the Dry Suit Course with diving at Silfra/Davidgjso combo and it really was a once in a lifetime experience. Wilfred was my instructor for the course and he made everything super easy - I felt really confident heading into the dive proper. The gear and service was also top notch. Diving in these conditions is like nothing I’ve experienced before. I could not recommend it highly enough.
Very cool experience, snorkeling with snow covered surroundings. Linn was our fearless leader and kept us all accounted for and headed in the right direction.
Was an absolutely mind blowing experience. Would recommend this to anyone! Linn was an amazing guide and made it so enjoyable
I went for a few dives with Sara Bendicho. It had been a while since i dove w dry suit. Sara was amazing before, between and after the dive. I was able to get comfortable fast and enjoy every single moment. Silfra is such a unique place, so breathtaking that is worth coming and dive here. Thank you Sara for your patience and guidance. Dive.Is was the perfect choice for me.
An amazing trip from start to finish with easy communication and hassle free organisation. Dive site is well prepped and guides Armand and Diogo were super friendly. Dive was a lot less cold than expected, even with some of the kit not quite snuggly fitting the smaller frame ! Lol Well led dive and excellent pictures to show for what had been a burning desire for many years. Well worth the cost. A huge thanks to Armand for excellent and easy leading.
We had a great experience with Armand, the water was crystal clear and not quite as cold as we originally thought! The whole team couldn’t have been more helpful - would definitely recommend!
Linn is an amazing snorkel guide. Jokes around to make you feel relax and ease into the snorkel. Constantly checks in to ensure you are comfortable throughout the snorkelling time. Must do experience
The experience was just indescribable. From before signing up till the process before we met our instructor. Believe me when I say they got one of the best dive instructor(Diogo) with them. 2 days course plus dive, He text us the day before our pool session course for follow up, fetched us. Course by the pool, open water session, next day dive all was well communicated for. As a seasonal diver, and hanging around with different dive instructors around. We was pampered as a new diver thru out with very good tips and guides. Making it the course very interesting, easy to learn with fun environment. On the actual day diving at the tectonic plates, it was even better experience! The team was very friendly, fun and actively engaging with everyone and helping us to get ready. Lastly, I would recommend Diogo to anyone whom is interested in taking the course with him from my observation. Even for beginners manage to handle it well under his guidance during our course period. Thank you for making this trip a very memorable experience.
Gabe was fabulous. I was surprised that it was not colder in October, but the dry suits were incredible. What a way to start our trip!
Amazing dive at Silfra with Diogo from Dive.is. Really appreciated all the help from the team to get setup and the hot chocolate after was absolutely necessary 😁🥶
An absolutely fantastic experience diving at Silfra. I did the dry suit diving course and diving at Silfra with dive.is and the guides were really helpful, supportive and created a fun atmosphere. Henry and Armand were my guides for the dry suit course and dive tour at silfra respectively and a big shoutout to both of them. They made me feel comfortable and made the whole experience really smooth
This was a really special experience! Highly recommend doing the dry suit course the day before then doing the Silfra dive, so you can get accustomed to the temperature and equipment and enjoy Silfra because you’re more relaxed the next day. My dive course dive was Henry and my Silfra guide was Armand - really nice chill guys, very professional and fun to hang with
We had an amazing experience!! Really recommend as it was unbelievably beautiful. Our guide Armand was helpful, hilarious and professional. Thank you!!
Everything was perfect The pick up, the expérience with our guide Hanna who was amazing and she was very nice and cool! Thanks a lot Hanna!!:) The experience itself was wonderful we took our time to admire and observe the amazing geological nature If you hésitante, don't anymore and go for it you won't regret it!!
This is absolutely one of my best dive in my life! I feel like the tour start even before they pick me up from Reykjavík. First of all the customer services was so good, they will try to contect you and respond you real quick if any information missing or for any questions about the tour. On that day, I got perfect weather and I got my great great dive guide Emilio during the dive, he’s is so helpful, so friendly, and caring about you, willing to help you to take pictures during the dive, always care how you feel before and even after the dive, and you know he could help you anytime if you got any problems. After dive, when I was having my lovely hot chocolate, some other guide are willing to talk with me even they are busy on collecting the stuff without bad attitude, so much appreciated. Finally, same lovely driver and send us back to Reykjavík. Love it!!
Wow! What an incredible experience. I was a little anxious about this adventure but the team at Dive.IS was very helpful, encouraging and professional. It seemed like a well run operation and they totally took care of every detail. We were picked up in time and everything went according to plan. I was comfortable and they helped us understand exactly what to expect without being condescending or dismissive. We were so fortunate to get Wilfred as our guide. He instilled confidence and I felt like I was in good hands. Way to go Dive.Is
Got a nosebleed from the neck strap and hypothermia because the suit leaked. The suits are not sized properly so you have to tie a neoprene knife strap around your neck and Velcro straps on the wrists. Also needed straps around the ankles bc again, the suit doesn’t fit. There’s no buddy system, so your safety is dependent on a distracted guide. Guide did not lock my zipper apparently, but that was my fault. (I was probably distracted myself by the neoprene strap restricting blood flow to my brain}. The suit did not immediately fill up with water so I didn’t know anything was wrong until it was too late to turn back. Again. my fault, but this was only my second dry suit dive. Now I know. The fissure is beautiful and gets 5 stars. Gotta subtract a couple of stars for the medical intervention after the dive.
Conrad was fantastic - an incredible experience not to be missed. All very easy to follow - ran like clockwork. Once in a lifetime snorkel.
This was one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever been a part of! Filip was great and made me feel safe and comfortable. Definitely recommend to anyone thinking of doing this.
Wilfred was super chill and knowledgeable. The dive was amazing and he made sure we were comfortable with all the skills. 10 stars, would highly recommend.
Linn was my guide and she was awesome!!! Couldn’t ask for a better guide! Such a cool experience diving in Silfra! Would highly recommend it 10/10! Thanks again Linn :)
