Silfra - the freshwater fissure between the continents
Silfra is a unique phenomenon on this planet.
In fact there are a couple of other freshwater rifts similair to the Silfra crack in Iceland, but Silfra is the most beautiful, interesting and accessible for recreational divers and snorkelers.
The visibility in Silfra exceeds 100 meters and divers and snorkelers are diving and floating in between the American and Eurasian continents. They can actually touch both continents at the same time.
These Silfra facts as well as the amazingly beautiful underwater landscape made of lava rock, sand and algae created a great appeal to the recreational diving and snorkeling community all around the world.
Many experienced divers come to Iceland in the first place to dive Silfra and experience this amazing dive site first hand.
