Your overview of all dive & snorkel trips in Iceland
DIVE.IS is Iceland's leading dive and snorkel tour operator and the only PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Dive Center in Iceland.

Within this time we have fine-tuned our dive tours and snorkel trips and other related services in all their facetts to be able to offer you the best experience and service in Iceland when it comes to scuba diving and snorkeling.
Some of our diving and snorkeling tours are in combination with other activities and others are under the arctic midnight sun. We love our multiple day tour dive packages and exclusive diving or snorkeling tours just as much as our dive expeditions to yet to be discovered dive sites.
We also arrange private snorkeling tours or private dive tours for both individuals or groups as well as diving related services for journalists and TV crews.
Diving Day Tours
WORLD CLASS DIVES - TRULY UNIQUE
Iceland has some absolutely unique dive sites to offer. Stuff you don‘t see anywhere else, at least not on this planet. Put a dry suit on & dive between continents or in geothermally superheated water or in an ocean full of life. You can also combine these dive day tours with sightseeing and other activities.
Snorkeling Day Tours
Ever thought about snorkeling in near freezing water between two continents?
Water temperature: Just above freezing.Visibility: Depends solely on the quality of your dive mask.
Where: In a lava fissure ripped open by earthquakes.
What else: Combine it with other great nature sights and activities.
Why: Because YOU want to take this memory home.
MULTIPLE DAY TOURS
OUR PASSION: TRAVEL ALL OVER ICELAND... AND DIVE
"Iceland is frontier diving" as David our lead guide for longer tours puts it. On our Multiple Day Dive Tours all over & under Iceland you will not only dive some of the most unique and amazing dive sites on this planet, but also see many of Iceland's on-land nature sights and learn a lot about our island of the North Atlantic.
Private Tours
You don't have to be Tom Cruise... but it helps
Even though our rule is to have a maximum ratio of either 3 divers or 6 snorkelers to one guide on our regular day tours, there are circumstances when it makes a lot of sense to rather book a private diving or snorkeling tour.
Group tours
For groups with 18 or more people
We here at DIVE.IS have been welcoming big groups for a long time, for example school groups and companies. We know how to make the process smooth and a lot of fun.
Media & film crew services
ICELAND MAKES GREAT FOOTAGE
Over the years we have had the pleasure of helping quite a lot of film crews and journalists to acquire some excellent footage and images from both above and below the surface. We have also provided written text and expert interviews.We take this very seriously and have the experience and contacts to make stuff happen.
Frequently asked questions
-
Can my travel companion come with me on tour without participating in the tour?
-
That's no problem at all :)
If you have your own car, your friend can just come along at no additional cost, as the entrance to the park is free of charge.
On the other hand, if you need to make use of our pickup service from Reykjavík, we can book your friend as a passenger for 7,000 ISK.
To book the passenger, you can go into Manage My booking, by quoting your booking number (DIV-###) and full name registered in the booking. There you will find the "passenger" in the extras.
Whatever option you choose, your friend is welcome to hang around Silfra while you guys are in the water. There are several interesting landmarks located within walking distance, you can read all about it on our blog.

Do you see any life in Silfra?
-
Although there is plenty of life in Silfra, most of it is either plant life or micro-invertebrates, which are not visible to the human eye. Silfra is home to a unique amphipod called Crymostygius Thingvallensis found only in Thingvellir Lake and the surrounding fissures, such as Silfra.
In regard to fish life, there are three different species of fish that live in the lake: Brown Trout, Arctic Char and Sticklebacks, however, only the Arctic Char visit the fissure; they are frequent visitors during mating season in August and September. Throughout the rest of the year, the only fish who live in the Silfra fissure are the Dwarf Char, a subspecies of the Arctic Char. These range in size from a few centimeters to approximately 10cm maximum and live down in the darker recesses near the rocks and as such are not often spotted by divers or snorkelers.

-
How long is the Snorkeling Silfra tour?
-
The tour time is between 2.5 and 3 hours from start to finish at Silfra, not including pick-up and drop-off times. The speed of the tour depends on the participants in the group and the number of people at Silfra, so if you are planning a second activity afterwards, please consider a maximum time frame of three hours. Please note that this is the duration of the tour on-site at Silfra. If you have chosen to use our transport options, your tour time will be between five and six hours from pick up to drop off.
