Thingvellir: Deep Into the Blue Silfra Diving

Silfra Fissure: Dive the Divide | Meet on Location

Plunge into the crystal-clear waters of the Silfra Fissure, located in the heart of Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Consistently rated as one of the top dive sites in the world, Silfra offers an otherworldly experience where you dive between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. With visibility exceeding 100 meters, the glacial water is so pure you can drink it. You’ll glide through a surreal landscape of neon-green "troll hair" algae and deep volcanic rock formations, in the only place on Earth where you can dive between two continents.
