Silfra

Место погружения в
Improve

Silfra is a fissure between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. It was formed in 1789 by an earthquake that opened up several fissured in the Thingvellir area of Iceland.

The water here, which the locals call “liquid air,” is incredibly pure because it is filtered through porous underground lava for dozens of years before it reaches the spring that feeds into Silfra. Consequently, Silfra is probably the clearest spot in the world to dive in.

The underwater seascape is dominated by rocky walls, boulders, tunnels, and caverns. Green algae grow over the lava rocks, adding color to an otherwise grey aquatic landscape.

Silfra is a UNESCO world heritage site that will leave you speechless. Anyone who holds an Open Water certification or the equivalent and also has a dry suit certification can dive here. The water temperature is a constant 2°- 4°C/36°-39°F year-round.

This definitely was the experience of a lifetime! Diving between two tectonic plates is so surreal, it feels like a whole new world! The dry suit was a bit uncomfortable for me, though, but it was a very small ... This definitely was the experience of a lifetime! Diving between two tectonic plates is so surreal, it feels like a whole new world! The dry suit was a bit uncomfortable for me, though, but it was a very small price to pay for the thrill. No matter whether you are a warm or cold water diver, this should definitely be on your bucket list!
