In general the answer is yes. However, it can happen in rare occasions that your Silfra snorkeling guide is not able to take photos because he/she might be busy assisting other snorkelers in the water. Another uncommon reason could be that the camera has a problem. In this unlikely case you will be refunded for the tour photos should you already have purchased them online in advance.

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.

Yes, we offer a variety of Souvenirs of Silfra and DIVE.IS including photo packages, t-shirts, jumpers, hoddies, hats , logbooks, postcards and stickers. Please have a look at our Souvenir page for more detailed information. If you want to buy souvenirs at Silfra, just ask the guide for information.

Yes, there are toilet facilities at Silfra. However we kindly ask you to not use them for changing, as there are only 2 toilets at Silfra and it can cause long queues to form. We do have a changing room vehicle, and often several other cars at Silfra for participants to change clothes in. Due to this layout, we highly recommend that participants arrive at Silfra already wearing their thermal base layer.

Of course! You are free to take your own photos or video on tour with us, but we ask that your equipment is attached to your body in one way or another, for example with a wrist band. We do however not advise that you take your phone in a waterproof case, due to the fact that it is generally not possible to operate it whilst wearing the gloves. Make sure that you read the instructions that come with your photography equipment of how deep and/or cold you are allowed to take it underwater, we strongly encourage you to follow them thoroughly. We do not take any responsibility of lost or damage photography gear that may happen on tour with us.

Unfortunately, there is no food sold directly at Silfra. There is however a restaurant at the Thingvellir Information Centre which is located just 3,5km away from Silfra.

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.

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.

Even though the dry suits are very buoyant and keep you afloat, it is a requirement that all participants must be able to swim and feel comfortable in water to join the tour. This is for your own safety and comfort. You do however not need to be a very strong swimmer, merely able to swim and be comfortable in the water.

The Þingvellir National Park charges a parking fee (750,- ISK for a passenger car ), which allows you to park in any of the five car parks in the park for the duration of the day. Please note that the parking lot for divers and snorkelers at Silfra is called P5 and is about a 5 minute walk to the Silfra meeting point.
You can pay for parking online at www.myparking.is before or during the day of visit, and enter the license plate of your car into the system. Cameras check all license plates entering and leaving the parking lots. If you can’t pay online , you can pay at the Visitor centre. Pay machines will also be installed at the parking lots in near future. The pay machines accept all major credit/debit cards.

Unfortunately we do not offer prescription masks, due to the amount of prescriptions we would need to cover. If you use glasses we recommend that you bring contact lenses as the glasses do not fit under the mask. If you do however own a prescription mask, you are of course welcome to use it on the tour.

The water temperature in Silfra is 2-4°Celsius all year around. This converts to 35-39°Fahrenheit.

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.

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.
