Join a Silfra Diving Tour from Reykjavík and experience one of Iceland’s most extraordinary underwater adventures. Roundtrip transportation from Reykjavík is included, so you can enjoy the experience without needing a car.

Dive into the crystal-clear Silfra Fissure in Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, you can dive between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates in clear glacial water.

This 6-hour experience is a demanding diving tour for qualified and experienced dry suit divers.

Dive Silfra Between Two Continents

Silfra lies within the rift valley at Þingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates move apart.

Explore the fissure with a certified PADI® Divemaster or Dive Instructor. As you dive, discover deep volcanic rock formations and the brilliant blue water that makes Silfra famous.

Underwater visibility can exceed 100 metres, creating an unforgettable view beneath the surface.

Experience Silfra’s Crystal-Clear Water

Silfra contains exceptionally clear glacial water that filters through underground lava fields before reaching the fissure.

As a result, the water offers remarkable visibility and creates one of Iceland’s most unique diving environments.

During the dive, explore volcanic rock formations, clear blue water and the unusual underwater landscape of Þingvellir.
