Description
The wetsuit
will cover your whole body but note that the wetsuit will not protect
you entirely from the cold water in Silfra. Yet this is such an amazing
experience that you simply must do this. Adventurebox is the only
snorkeling company in Iceland that offers wetsuit snorkeling and we
promise you that this is by far the best way to snorkel. You will be
able to dive below the surface and see the underwater wonders. No diving
licence is needed.
Snorkeling in Silfra is actually snorkeling between two continents;
Europe and America. Sounds strange? Well it’s a fact. The snorkeling
site is in Silfa, an exotic underwater canyon/fissure, located at the
UNESCO World Heritage Site,
Thingvellir, only about 50 km from Reykjavik. Silfra is a fissure
created because of continents’ plates drift apart about 2 cm per year.
This is an unbelievable experience you won’t forget.
Silfra is known to be one of
the top dive sites in the world.
Silfra is a freshwater fissure where you can see at least 100 meters
ahead of you as the water is so clear. The water is so pristine it
feels like flying.
No diving experience is needed. We provide all the gear that you need
and offer snorkeling in wetsuit (the suit we recommend) and drysuit all
dependant on your interest.
