The Silfra fissure is the only place in the world where you can dive between two continents, and it is an extraordinary experience.Silfra in Iceland is located in the heart of Þingvellir National Park, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates drift apart at about 2 cm per year.
Exploring the underwater world of Silfra offers you a truly unique view of incredible rock formations. There are four areas in the fissure: the deep Silfra crack, where you can take a photo between the continents; the Silfra Hall, which is simply magical; the incredibly blue world of the Silfra Cathedral; and the Silfra Lagoon with incredible underwater visibility. You can dive here up to 18 meters deep.
The water flows from Langjökull ('long glacier') and is filtered through lava fields for about 50 years on its way. It is rich in volcanic minerals and so pure that you can drink it. Visibility is also enhanced by the constant temperature between 2-4°C.Diving in an underwater canyon in the crystal-clear waters of Silfra takes you into a magical and colorful underwater world. This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will stay with you for your entire life!
