Amazing Silfra dive experience with Sara! - We had an incredible time diving at Silfra, and our guide Sara made the whole experience even better. She was very clear and detailed during the briefing, making sure we understood everything before getting in the water. Her smile, energy, and positive attitude really set the tone for the day. Sara and the team also helped us a lot with the drysuits and other gear, which made things so much easier and comfortable. Also, she took a lot of photos for us too. The entire experience was smooth, safe, and unforgettable. Highly recommend diving with her if you get the chance — she’s awesome!

You’ve gotta do it - I did the Dry Suit Course with diving at Silfra/Davidgjso combo and it really was a once in a lifetime experience. Wilfred was my instructor for the course and he made everything super easy - I felt really confident heading into the dive proper. The gear and service was also top notch. Diving in these conditions is like nothing I’ve experienced before. I could not recommend it highly enough.

Snow snorkeling - Very cool experience, snorkeling with snow covered surroundings. Linn was our fearless leader and kept us all accounted for and headed in the right direction.

Breathtaking - I went for a few dives with Sara Bendicho. It had been a while since i dove w dry suit. Sara was amazing before, between and after the dive. I was able to get comfortable fast and enjoy every single moment. Silfra is such a unique place, so breathtaking that is worth coming and dive here. Thank you Sara for your patience and guidance. Dive.Is was the perfect choice for me.

Slifra diving shout out - An amazing trip from start to finish with easy communication and hassle free organisation. Dive site is well prepped and guides Armand and Diogo were super friendly. Dive was a lot less cold than expected, even with some of the kit not quite snuggly fitting the smaller frame ! Lol Well led dive and excellent pictures to show for what had been a burning desire for many years. Well worth the cost. A huge thanks to Armand for excellent and easy leading.
