What To Expect

Dive into the clear water in Silfra fissure, one of the world's top rated diving locations. Diving between 2 continents is a very unique experience and on many bucket lists. You have to be a certified diver to participate in this activity and have a dry-suit experience (10 dives within the last 2 years, in a dry-suit, or dry-suit certified). Afterwards, you will have hot chocolate and biscuits to warm yourself up.

Additional Info

  • Confirmation is instant and will be received at time of booking
  • Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries
  • Not recommended for pregnant travelers
  • This is a challenging dive where you need to be capable of carrying heavy equipment up to 400m
  • Since you are wearing a snorkeling/dive mask to see underwater, there can be nothing in the way of the seal to keep them from filling up with water. You cannot wear glasses underneath the mask. You will have to go without them, wear contact lenses, or bring your own goggles with prescription
  • *Guests need to have previous dry suit diving experience*. Your guide needs to see your Dry suit certification card, or a logbook showing that you have completed a minimum of 10 previous dry suit dives (signed by a dive professional). You need to have dived in a dry suit within the last 2 years to ensure that your skills are up to date and so you enjoy the dive.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

A: Participants in the Silfra Diving Between Continents Tour From Thingvellir National Park cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
