Silfra: Diving Between Tectonic Plates - Meet on Location

About this experience

Experience Silfra's pristine, crystal clear water while you dive between two continents.

Silfra is a crack in the Earth ripped open by the movement of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

The crystal clear glacial water filling the Silfra fissure has been filtered for decades through underground lava rock, providing over 100 meters of underwater visibility. The underwater scenery that you experience in Silfra is found nowhere else on Earth, a true bucket list dive.

The diving tour of Silfra is done in a dry suit, helping you to stay warm and dry inside the suit.

You will explore the four main parts of Silfra, the big crack, Silfra hall, Silfra Cathedral and the Silfra Lagoon. You will be able to touch the 2 continents at one point, don't forget to take a photo!

Silfra is located in Thingvellir National Park which is a Unesco heritage site. The beautiful park is one of the wonders on the famous Golden circle route.
