Excellent Silfra Dive - Excellent dive. Excellent experience. Excellent guide. Veli guided me through Silfra and took great pictures of me and my experience like the professional he is. I’d highly recommend making sure you add this dive to your Iceland itinerary and check it off your bucket list!

Diving between continents. - I had a great time on the dive. My first dive after certification. My dive master Elsa really knew her job and did great. And a shout out to James for getting me through my certification.

Great experience! - My friend and I thought snorkeling at Silfra was such an amazing experience. It was a lot less cold than we expected, especially after Reddit nearly scaring us away from doing it in December. Veli was a great guide and we felt safe and well informed for the experience. Highly recommend!

Thank you everyone, especially Sara. - Sara,love you~I have only swum in the swimming pool a few times, so I felt a little scared when I went down to the water. 😬bad at it but can't resist playing. At the same time, my fever just subsided in the morning, and I was soon exhausted (don't imitate it. Although this project is very safe, everyone is still based on their own physical condition), but Sara was protecting me all the way, and at the same time, she didn't forget to take photos. my friends with me have a very good sense of experience, which is an unforgettable experience. I will miss you, 🫶🏻🥰Sara.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Experience! - The Silfra snorkeling experience was unforgettable. The crystal-clear water is something you have to see to believe. Veli made it even better: super friendly, fun, and kept the whole group relaxed while still making everything feel safe and smooth. An amazing experience all around!

Great, reliable company. Very highly recommend. - Very professional operation. My instructor, Nikos, was absolutely incredible! I was really nervous about the tightness of the wetsuit around my neck and he was sooo patient and kind. If it wasn’t for his calming manner and patience I likely wouldn’t have made it into the water! The whole team was really friendly and helpful. Highly, highly recommend.
