After plunging into the icy water, you’ll discover ancient lava formations and the Silfra fissure — the tectonic boundary that separates North America from Eurasia. The gentle current and high visibility of the water makes exploration effortless and rewarding.

We, my wife Diane and I, Jack were in Iceland in January and as a diver found the idea of diving there irresistible, I wasnt disappointed. We were picked up on time from our hotel by Julian who proved to be a great guide making the journey and the day interesting and my introduction to dry suit diving easy. The kit was good quality in in great condition, proving warmer then I had thought, with water temperatures around 2 Degrees C. Although generally a shallow dive,1.5m to 15m the scenery both above and below water proved to be fantastically unusual even without any life. The water was typically clear with the volcanic rock giving an opportunity for very different style photographs. We managed two dives that day, the second, just three of us including Julian, saw a search for and the finding of a Gopro Hero lost during the first dive. Great day leaving Silfra at dusk.

the divemasters were great and very patient. I did find that diving in a dry suit isn't the easiest however, the divemasters made you feel at ease.

This was an amazing dive. However, if you've never dived in a wetsuit you need to be aware that it is quite different. Be prepared for much more weight. Also the dive goes up and down quite a bit so don't be surprized when you are almost at the surface.

The time before the trip was a bit annoying, as they did not accept my diving-logbook as proof of the OWD and insisted on the plastic card. It took us more than 1 hour to fix the spelling mistake with PADI. Otherwise I can recommend Arctic Adventures and Katja as tour guide very much. The equipment ist very good and they take great care to make sure you are fine. The dives can be accustomed to your wishes. There is one major route you enter the crack and then there are 2 options. We took two dives of about 30 min. each. Maximum depth was 14m for a short time 18m is maximum allowed, so there was plenty of air left and you do not need to worry about decompression sickness etc. The dive itself is not difficult, you should bring some experience. It is not the right place to learn to dive - At the diving site there are new platforms to enter and exit the water very comfortably now. There are many people at the diving site, mainly snorkeling but also diving, but that did not impair the vision. The fissure, the rocks, the fairytale world in the lake - amazing!
