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 an 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 are most welcome to bring your own snorkeling equipment, but please be aware of the following. If you are thinking of bringing your own fins, please make sure that they are open-heeled fins, as they will need to fit over a drysuit boot. Most people will wear a drysuit with similar-sized shoes to their normal shoe size, but sometimes that is not the case, and therefore your fins may not fit. If you have your own neoprene hood and gloves, you are welcome to bring them, but please remember that this is 3°C water - we highly suggest a minimum of 7mm hood and 7mm three-finger mittens as these are the warmest options, and what we will supply. You may find that 5mm five-fingered gloves are quite cold, and we do not advise wearing anything less than 5mm thickness.

Sorry, but we currently don't have prescription masks available. It would be challenging to cater to the different prescriptions that our customers might have. If you wear glasses, we suggest using contact lenses instead, as they fit more comfortably under the mask. However, if you already have a prescription mask, you are more than welcome to use it during the tour.

Unfortunately, it is not allowed to wear life jackets, or use any other swimming aid devices at Silfra. For this reason, all participants must be able to swim and feel comfortable in water.

Unfortunately, we do not offer cameras for rent, we do however offer a very reasonably priced photo package including photos taken by your guide during your tour, and access to our "Best of Silfra" collection. You are however welcome to bring your own waterproof camera.

Yes, if you want to give someone a nice present, it will be our pleasure to prepare a nice gift certificate for you.
The certificate can be made for all of our tours, courses or any other products you find on our website.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with your ideas.

The guide loves capturing amazing moments throughout the tour, and they will have a wonderful collection of photos for you to browse and purchase. You'll be able to find your perfect shots directly from your guide at the end of the tour for just 3,000 ISK.
The photo package includes not only the photos from your tour but also our Best of Silfra folder, where you can discover the beauty of Silfra at its finest.
It's important to note that this is not a private photoshoot, so your folder will include pictures of all the lovely people in your group.
As your safety is always our top priority, there might be instances where the guide needs to assist another snorkeler in the water, which could affect the availability of the photos.
If you decide at a later date that you would like to purchase the photos you can contact our office and a payment link will be sent to you, allowing you to pay online.

Silfra is located in Þingvellir national park, which is about 45-60 minutes drive from Reykjavík city. You can see a map attached to your ticket, find the map HERE or simply type Silfra Diving into Google maps. If you get lost on the way please do not hesitate to call our office for help.

During our snorkel tour, you'll have the fantastic opportunity to explore the underwater world for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. The duration of the snorkeling session may vary depending on the group's pace and the amount of time they wish to spend exploring the beautiful lagoon at the end. So, get ready to dive in and enjoy every moment of this amazing adventure!

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.

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.

We offer hot chocolate, tea and cookies after the dives and snorkels, but do not provide any other form of food. There is also drinking water on site. We kindly ask that you have eaten breakfast/lunch before your tour, as you will need the energy it provides.

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 8:00 and 16:00 every day of the week.
