Great experience - Thought I was going to regret it but was actually an amazing experience and the water is so beautiful. It wasn’t just an in and out excursion, we swam for about an hour and the suit was a lot more comfortable Han other reviews I read. Plus completely kept the water out.

Unique, beautiful and FUN! - Really amazing experience! Our guide Quim was very nice and informative. Don’t skip this when you’re in Iceland. Unique experience that’s worth the cold hands/face.

Amazing experience - Excellent service - great team! So much fun!! Phillip was so nice and patient. No need to bring tons of layers, they will provide you with a suit to wear under the dry suit. Will recommend to bring double socks

Mind Blowing - A must do!!!! - This is without doubt one of the most amazing experiences we've ever had. Everything was incredible, the water is so clear and beautiful. The sheer scale and magnificence of the fissure is astonishing, its just mind blowing to get the opportunity to float between 2 continents! The staff at Dive.is couldn't have been more helpful, professional and accommodating, everyone that we interacted with was brilliant but I have to give a huge shout out and thank you to Arnar Fannberg. I did the snorkel with my 16 year old and 12 year old, he stayed late the day before our tour to make sure that the dry suit would fit my 12 year old and that we'd be fully prepared with our thermal layers. On the day he made a very nervous 16 year completely forget her fears and love every moment. He was a great guide and took brilliant pictures, we especially love the close up shots of us in our snorkel masks! This is a not to be missed experience, we will treasure these memories forever!

Great time. Love Arnar - Arnar was such an amazing guide. It was a bit of an anxious experience for me, but I felt safe in his hands. Silfa is truly beautiful. I can't recommend it enough, though maybe not in the winter time.

Great Staff - So I got lost on my way to the meeting stop. They were so kind and were able to get me on the next available snorkel that same day. Filip was my guide and so much fun! He explained everything and made sure everyone in the group was doing okay. Highly recommend
