Under the Icelandic water surface, about 60 kilometers away from Reykjavík , in the Silfra Fissure, unique experiences await to be discovered while snorkelling.

The gentle current that flows in the Silfra Fissure ensures a clear view of the paradisiacal colours at all times. The breathtaking scenery, where you can reach a maximum depth of 18 metres, is worth a visit at any time of the year.
