A group of friends and I dove at Silfra with Dive.Is on May 17th - what an amazing experience! To begin with, Dive.Is is an osom outfit - very well run, with a great group of divemasters who are fun and helpful the whole way through, from booking the rez to arranging transport, as well as, of course, on the...

OMG!! I would never have believed I would do something like this, but you just have to if you come to Iceland. This is something truly unique, the water so clear and drinkable. This trip has also got me interested in more diving opportunities! Me and my aunt went with Dive.is. Our guide, S - she was a great guide... More

The Dive.IS guide picked us up at our hotel very promptly. We picked up some others along the way as well so it wasn't only my husband and I who were the craziest people on earth. I think we went on the coldest day possible. It was snowing a bit and the wind was about 80 miles per hour so... More

We signed up the day before for the Silfra snorkeling trip in early April 2012. We booked them through a tourist agency in Reykjavik. Siobhan was timely with picking us up from our hotel and drove us to get another 3 people. Five total was a great size for getting to know each other and an informal tour of the... More

My first visit to Iceland and an opportunity to snorkel in Silfra will be a lasting memory. The dive.is guides, Alfi and Shobham were excellent. They were both knowledgeable and informative and had a good sense of humour whilst displaying good professional standards. The 2 degree celcius water temperature was not a problem in the dry suits provided and the... More

Pick up at the hotel by an Instructor. Drove up to Thingvellir to meet another diver, put on the gear and jumped in to Silfra :-) Weather was terrible, but sub water it did not matter! 4 degrees c in the water - and fantastic visibility! My first dry suit dive, and my first dive since i got the license!... More

We booked the "Black and Blue" tour in Iceland and were picked up at our hotel promptly. Unfortunately due to the weather, the caves were unreachable due to the snow and ice but not only were we given a full refund for this part of the tour, the guide took us round the national park for free while we were...

We were in Iceland for a week where we did a wide variety of tours - snowmobiling, glacier hiking, ice climbing, blue lagoon, horse riding. This was our favourite tour. I was initially hesitant to go on the tour, as I cannot swim well and have never been snorkelling, also it had been quite cold. However its exactly as what... More

We did the Black & Blue tour and snorkeling at Silfra was unlike any other experience we have had. It's so shocking- it looks like a normal lake nothing special. Then we put on our teddy bear, then dry suits and got in (it's a little chilly). Once you look down you can see for days- the clarity is just... More

We did a morning snorkeling trip with Dive.is, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland. In total, there were 10 divers in our group and 5 snorkelers. They broke it down into small groups, so there were only a few people per instructor, which was nice. Our instructor, Erica, was great. We suited up in... More
