Our Dry Suit and Silfra Supreme is a 3 day scuba diving adventure in Iceland with a total of 3 dives. It includes the PADI Dry Suit Course, one unforgettable dive at Silfra, the PADI Tectonic Plate Awareness Distinctive Specialty Course (unique to DIVE.IS and carried out during your dive at Silfra), 1 dive at Davíðsgjá fissure and 1 dive at Bjarnagjá fissure on our Lava & Wreck diving adventure.
The Supreme also includes a free Silfra t-shirt as well as the tour photos from all your dives so you can show off your adventure.
Please keep in mind that, even though you will find a relaxed and fun environment here at DIVE.IS, the course and the dives are physically demanding and you must comply with all of our safety requirements. Please see the list of requirements below.
NOTES
- This is a Spring and Summer package, based on the daylight hours we have. If you are planning your visit in the Winter, please know that the schedule and price of the package are subject to changes. Contact us for prices and details.
- The PADI Dry Suit Diver E-book (15000 ISK) is included in the package. If you have purchased a hard copy of the PADI Dry Suit Diver manual, you are welcome to bring that along with you and we will refund you the cost of the E-book. Please let us know as soon as possible after booking if you have your own manual. It is mandatory to study it and fill out the Knowledge Reviews in the manual before the course begins.
- Note that ocean dives in Iceland depend on the weather and it can happen that scheduled ocean dive trips have to be canceled due to unfortunate weather conditions.
If that is the case we usually have a plan B and can offer you other dive sites, such as Lake Kleifarvatn, that do not depend on the weather as much as the ocean. Also, Bjarnagjá fissure is within an area where volcanic activity can happen. If the area is closed due to volcanic activity, we will move that dive to a different location.
Excellent dry suit course with VIP feeling
Very well organised course with high level of VIP feeling due to 2 instructors on 4 students. Arnar and James were very professional and meticulous with the different steps to practise and execute. I feel very safe now diving with dry suit.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Are photos always taken on the Diving Day Tours?
-
Our dive guides carry an underwater camera on most dives in Silfra and other dive sites. The dive guides try to take as many great underwater photographs as possible on these dives. However, safety comes always first and it can occur that the dive guide chooses to not distract him-/herself from dive safety on particular dives in difficult conditions or with insecure divers. In that case it might happen that few or no photos are taken. We hope for your understanding should this be the case.
Usually the photos of the dives are available for purchase after the dive tour. Please check out our Souvenir page for more info.Our dive guides always bring along an underwater camera on the dives at the breathtaking Silfra and other marvelous dive sites. During these dives, our dive guides strive to capture as many splendid underwater photographs as possible. However, the safety of our divers is our utmost priority, and there may be occasions when the dive guide chooses to focus solely on dive safety during challenging conditions or with less confident divers. In such cases, it is possible that only a few or no photos are taken. We sincerely appreciate your understanding should this be the situation.
Typically, the photos from the dives are available for purchase after your incredible dive tour. For more information, please visit our our Souvenir page.

-
Are the dry suits very tight / uncomfortable?
-
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.

-
Can I bring my own camera on the Drysuit course?
-
Unfortunately, PADI dive training regulations prohibit both the dive instructor and the students from carrying a camera of any sort during training dives. As we are a PADI 5-Star Dive Center, we respect these regulations.
-
-
How deep are the Silfra dives?
-
The maximum allowed dive depth in Silfra is 18 meters / 60 feet, however the average depth of a typical Silfra dive is about 10 meters / 32 feet. Depending on the dive qualifications and dive experience of the divers, the Silfra dive might be shallower for safety and convenience.
