The Foodhunt has up to now always resulted in a bounteous catch! Sometimes this might not include a fish, but you'll almost certainly be able to gather mussels or other types of shellfish.

Each freedivingsession in Silfra can be anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, most commonly around 40 minutes. On the Freedive Foodhunt, you coud spend anywhere from 1 to 2 hours in the water, as the ocean is much warmer than Silfra.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to wear glasses underneath the dive mask, as the mask would fill with water. We therefore advise that if you are near-sighted (i.e. you need glasses for distance), you consider wearing contact lenses or bring your own prescription mask with you. If you are snorkeling and have prescription swimming goggles you are able to wear them, but you must also bring a nose clip to close your nose, so that you are able to use your snorkel. If your prescription is not very strong (up to approximately -4) you may find that the natural magnification of the water will still allow you to see quite clearly. Should you need to purchase contact lenses, there are several opticians in Reykjavík where you would be able to do so.

The wetsuit used by our partners on the freediving tour is a specialized 7mm freediving suit. In many cases, no water will touch your skin, but if it does, your body quickly heats up the water. It's important to remember that the Silfra freedive tour is a tour in 2°C water, not tropical warm waters, so your expectations should be adjusted accordingly, but most people are perfectly comfortable in the water using the specialized freediving wetsuit. The Freedive Foodhunt will take you on freedives in the ocean, which is several degrees warmer than Silfra.
