Top Reykjavik Scuba Diving

Ideal for experienced divers, this diving trip in Thingveiller National Park allows you to discover the incredible Silfra fissure — the continental plates that separate North America and Eurasia. During two dives, marvel at ancient lava formations and swim into the void between two tectonic plates. This small-group tour is limited to four people, and includes all diving gear and round-trip transport from Reykjavik. An accredited diving qualification is required.

Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime dive in the Silfra ravine of Iceland’s Thingvellir National Park on this 4-hour experience. Don the supplied drysuit and scuba gear, and swim through the rift's crystal-clear glacier waters, passing through the gap between the two submerged continental plates. Marvel at the underwater beauty of the caverns and lagoon that follow, and the astonishing water clarity on route. This challenging dive is limited to PADI-certified divers with drysuit dive certification or experience.

Explore one of the best dive sites in the world where you can dive in crystal clear- and even drinkable water. The glacier water filters for about 30 to 100 years through hardened lava rock from Langijökull glacier. This creates an easy slow moving current to help you along your way when diving as it flows in the direction we dive. The current also ensures a constant steady flow of clear glacial spring water, ensuring that it's constantly clear. The depth of the fissure is about 18 meters at the deepest point and from the beginning to the end the cathedral is about 100 meters long. You can see right across from one end to the other. Gazing through this section of Silfra is one of the most dramatic views underwater. Silfra Lagoon is the last section of Silfra and this is the place where the visibility is most apparent, as the Lagoon is the widest unobstructed area.

Under an hour from Reykjavik, the Silfra fissure divides the Eurasian and American tectonic plates. Gin-clear waters, with visibility of up to 330 feet (100 meters), draw scuba junkies from around the globe. Fit, dry-suit certified divers with recent logged dry-suit dives can join this small-group adventure. Your guide provides gear, including a dry suit, and leads you through the crack, hall, cathedral, and lagoon: Bring your own base layer.
