Tectonic plates free dive

Great guy. He was Informative and professional. Explained about the water , the temperature and why it is the same all year. The wet suits were warm. Good quality gear. Awesome set up in the van. Best of all it was fun. Guide was relaxed and joked and showed us all the cool places. Nothing better than drinking glacier water and being able to touch both sides of the tectonic plates at the same time.
Must!

I can strongly recommend the Silfra free dive experience - it was stunning and unforgettable. If you hesitate - don’t! It’s a must-have while traveling Iceland and here is why: - the underwater views are simply beautiful and clear even when the outside weather is a little bit off. - so much fun! Especially for a first-timer. - not as cold as it seems - the equipment is just enough to make you feel comfortable and warm for an entire dive. - and the last but not least - the instructor is very friendly and helpful + he kinda look like he could be one of the Skarsgard brothers. :)
The best and only place to dip your toes into Silfra with one breath!

Birgir and his team have a good setup going, with their van as warm room to change and get ready before the dive. We brought our own suits to Iceland, but used their weights and fins to save some travel luggage and personally I prefer wearing my own suit to make sure everything fits perfect in the icy water. The way to the fissur is made on foot, crocs provided for easy travel and most importantly - they offer high quality wind-stopper dive ponchos for the walk over to and from the accesspoints, so you stay warm and protected until you get into the water. Honestly, this was one of our highlights in Iceland - I might be biased because I'm a freediver - but if you are a freediver, this is the place to dive with :D Given the nature of this attraction, it was not so crowded and we got some awesome pictures coming up - check them out at @mesapholis and @joel_sharks on insta! Thanks Iceland Freediving!

Bjarni is a great warm host and guide! And Biggie is really warm with the local interests too! And SILFRA is other worldly. Came to dive as the center piece and it was! 🧊🍃🪨 it’s also in the golden circle so you can experience more when you are finished with your tip - get the go pro photos you’ll wanna remember this one!

I am so glad I booked with Freedive Iceland, the only company that offers wetsuit Freediving on Silfra while the rest are cumbersome drysuit snorkel tours that bob around on the surface. Birgir was a top bloke and excellent guide with a good sense of humour. He gave me a nice set of carbon fins and I had no trouble getting down to 10metres. The 7mm suits were very warm. If you have any Freediving experience, do this tour.
