DIVE.IS runs a guided snorkel through Silfra fissure in Þingvellir National Park, where glacial meltwater filtered through underground lava fills a rift between the North American and Eurasian plates. Participants meet at the park, receive dry suits and snorkeling equipment, and follow a guide through Big Crack, Silfra Hall, Silfra Cathedral and Silfra Lagoon. The operator describes about 30–40 minutes in the water and approximately 2.5 hours at the site. The water is exceptionally clear and remains very cold year-round.
