Unique freshwater diving
The 2 day winter dive expedition gives divers the opportunity to dive two spectacular freshwater fissures throughout the Icelandic winter. We will dive the world famous Silfra fissure as well as Davíðsgjá, its deeper and darker sister. These two sites are uniquely Icelandic and offer extreme visibility and unparalleled underwater landscapes. Winter in Iceland offers only short periods of daylight, so this tour is an excellent way to combine some adventurous diving with sensational winter landscapes, sightseeing and the chance to experience the northern lights! Every experience in this package is operated as a private tour.
