We use top quality equipment for our Snorkeling and Scuba Diving tours.

The dry suits only do a certain amount of dives / time before they get sold and replaced by new ones.

This ensures that our guests will always dive/snorkel in top notch dry suits frequently tested, serviced or replaced.

However, it is of high importance to provide us with your correct size (height and weight), so we can make sure to bring the best fit for you. If we receive an incorrect size, the guest will receive and incorrect dry suit fit. We assure you that your size information as well as all other personal information stays confidential with us.

We also want to point out that if you are sensitive to having something tight around your neck and/or wrists you might feel uncomfortable in a dry suit. It goes with the territory to have a well sealing neoprene neck seal and rubber wrist seals in order to stay dry.

You can try :) However our dry suits are very buoyant and won't let you sink. Due to safety reasons we unfortunately do not provide weight belts. Few people are able to free dive in these suits, most are not. You are more than welcome to try, but please be aware that moving around that much and at extreme angles will raise the risk of water entering your dry suit through the neck seal.
For those of you who are enthusiastic freedivers, we also offer freedive tours of Silfra through our trusted partners who are specialists in freediving. These tours are conducted in a wetsuit, which makes freediving possible.

Small stud earrings, non removable piercings and narrow chain necklaces can be worn without any problem. However bracelets, watches, chunky necklaces and dangling earrings need to be removed. With regards to rings, they can be worn without any problem, but we ask that rings with large stones are either removed, or twisted around to the palm. Rings with sharp edges are best removed so they do not catch on the gloves and wrist seals.

Children that are 12 years old on the year can snorkel with Dive.is.

Silfra is accessed from shore, so there are no boats involved. Your family can of course stay with you on the surface and walk with you to the entrance and exit point.

Yes of course. We offer a special passenger fee of 5.000.-isk. Please note that you need to book this via email. If you are driving yourselves to the national park your companion can join for free as there is no entrace fee to the national park.

We unfortunately do not offer towels on our tour. You will only get wet on your head and hands so a towel is not really needed. You are however more than welcome to bring your own, and if you have long hair you might want to bring a towel to dry it after the tour.

We have a special Medical Statement that all our participants need to read and sign prior our tour. If you say YES to any of the questions in section 1 we unfortunately can't take you on our tour. If you say YES to any of the questions in section 2 you need a Physicians approval. Our form for the Physicians approval is on the second page of the form Snorkeling Silfra Medical Form
Diving Silfra Medical Form Or you can use our Online Check-In site HERE once you have booked. There you can fill out the electronic
Medical Statement and then all you need to do is sign it at Silfra

Unfortunately, we do not offer any life jackets on our tours. All our participants must be able to swims and feel comfortable in water.

Your hair is best worn either loose or in a low ponytail or a braid. This keeps it nicely out of the way during the activity. We do not advise buns or high ponytails as they will be quite uncomfortable under your hood, and bunches or twin braids can make a dry suit removal more difficult. Please be aware that your hair is going to get wet, so please bring a towel if you prefer drying your hair afterwards.

Our suits contain both neoprene and latex, so we ask that you contact us before completing your booking to discuss your situation and arrange for alternative equipment if possible.

You are welcome to join our tour, but we ask that you bring along a companion who is not legally blind/deaf and who will participate in the activity with you. This is for your own comfort and safety to make sure that there is someone who is familiar with your situation and in the case of deafness, who is able to communicate with you as we do not currently have any guides who speak sign language. We would appreciate it if you can let us know ahead of time in these situations, so that our guides are aware of the situation and so that we can discuss with you any particular changes or conciderations that may need to be taken into account.

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), that you consider wearing contact lenses or bring your own prescription mask with you. If you are snorkelling and have prescription swimming goggles you are able to wear them, but you must also bring a nose clip to close of 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 Reykjavik where you would be able to do so.

We do not recommend bringing valuables on tour with you, unless you need them, but keys, phones, wallets, cameras and such things can be safely locked away in our cars throughout the duration of the activity

First and foremost, we can safely say that we, by far, possess the most experience and expertise in conceiving and conducting dive tours and expeditions in Iceland. The company was founded by pioneers and field leaders in offering regular recreational dive tours in Iceland – since 1997 – and has, as such, set the standard for others to follow. The broad selection and diversity of dive tours and expeditions on offer ensures that everyone can find a diving adventure that suits their interests and passions, from the beginner to the seasoned explorer.

Through decades of careful research and scouting, we are able to conceive of itineraries and activities based on first-hand knowledge and experience to bring you the most unique opportunities and exciting nature encounters.

Lastly, but certainly not leastly, we place a high value on the human touch and social side of your travel experience. Therefore, we employ only the very best (and nicest) guides available. We hand-pick the most experienced and seasoned guides out of a sizeable pool of dive guides working locally (mostly for our affiliate company DIVE.IS). Our extended tours and expeditions, in turn, are largely in the capable hands of our very own David Sigurthorsson (HYPERLINK), Iceland’s most experienced dive guide and expedition leader, whom many of you already know from your previous visits.

We provide you with 7mm three fingered neoprene mittens. This work on the same principles as a wetsuit, so your hands will be wet, but very well insulated.

Our dive shop is located at the western end of downtown Reykjavik, a 20-30 minute walk from most of the city centre. We are happy to welcome you here between 9am and 5pm every day of the week.
