Silfra – Dive Between the Continents

Prepare for a unique dive into the crystal-clear waters of Silfra, a world-renowned fissure in
Þingvellir National Park, where you can literally dive between two continents. Silfra is known for its incredibly clear water, with visibility often exceeding 100 meters.

The glacial meltwater that feeds it has been filtered through lava rock for centuries, leaving the water pristine and surreal in its clarity. Located in the rift valley between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, Silfra offers a rare opportunity to swim through a geological divide that is constantly shifting. There’s no place else on Earth where you can float between two continents like this.

The water temperature stays at a refreshing 3°C (37°F) year-round, so a dry suit certification is required. But don’t worry—this is all part of the adventure. Whether you’re drawn to the epic visibility, the geological wonders, or just want to tick off one of the world’s most extraordinary dive sites from your bucket list, Silfra is the dive you’ll
remember forever.

Kleifarvatn – Dive Into Fire and Ice

Just a short drive from Reykjavík, Kleifarvatn is a volcanic lake known for its otherworldly
landscape—and it’s one of the few places on Earth where you can dive over active geothermal springs.

As you descend into the lake, you’ll spot bubbles rising from the lakebed, where hot springs
release mineral-rich water into the cold depths. The interaction between the heat and the cold water creates shimmering thermoclines, surreal tastes, and even a splash of color—proof that you’re diving over an active geothermal area.

Kleifarvatn is great for divers of all levels. The shallower geothermal fields are ideal for leisurely exploration, but for the more adventurous, there are deeper areas with eerie rock formations and submerged fissures to discover. It’s a dive that feels almost alien—a collision of fire and ice beneath your fins.

Garður – Dive Into Iceland’s Coastal Wild

At the far edge of the Reykjanes Peninsula, Garður is an ocean dive site teeming with life.
Located near an old pier, it’s known for being one of Iceland’s most consistent dive sites,
offering year-round marine encounters. Diving here takes you through a shallow coastal zone, with a maximum depth of 16 meters. The action happens close to the pier, where you’ll find a vibrant kelp forest that’s home to wolffish, monkfish, flounders, cod, and more.

Garður is perfect for those who want to experience Iceland’s coastal ecosystem up close, in a relaxed and rewarding dive. It’s ideal for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone looking to dive into the rich underwater life of Iceland.

Óttarsstaðir – Local Favorite with Lush Life

Óttarsstaðir, just a short drive from the capital, is a local favorite dive site—perfect for training or after-work dives. This site features a thriving kelp forest, full of life and movement, where you can find creatures hiding and foraging among the fronds. The seabed gently slopes down to 18 meters, offering easy depth progression.

With calmer conditions, Óttarsstaðir is ideal for newer divers or anyone seeking a peaceful dive with great visibility and marine life.

Strýtan – Dive Into Iceland’s Geothermal Chimney

Strýtan, located in the north of Iceland, is an underwater marvel—a geothermal chimney
formed over centuries by mineral-rich hot water. It’s one of the world’s only diveable
geothermal chimneys, rising from the seafloor in shallow waters.

Dive through this fascinating geological feature, surrounded by rich marine life and the ongoing process of mineral deposition. It’s a rare and unforgettable dive, where science and nature meet.
