Snorkeling in a wetsuit in Iceland is something that may sound crazy but it can be one of the most rewarding things you can ever do. Hearing what our guides know and what our customers say after the tour is the reason we offer the wetsuit to you. We are the only company that offer a wetsuit and a drysuit. This allows multiple people in your group to decide what is truly the right fit for them to tailor make your day. Most people who choose the wetsuit do so because they want to be able to dive down. Therefore because of this this option is popular with scuba divers who do not have the required certifications for the drysuit scuba dive. When underwater a serene silence washes over you that can only be experienced by being under the water in a wetsuit. It is something that makes this quite possibly the best way to view the waters of Silfra, consistently over 100 metre in visibility. If you're not a particularly confident swimmer then the drysuit snorkel is an easier option for you.

Inclusions: Underwater photos, PADI Divemaster/ Instructor or equivalent, Hot chocolate, Use of Snorkelling equipment

Exclusions: Food, Clothing suitable for the weather, for example waterproofs, Swimwear and towel

Later, you'll receive all of the necessary equipment for snorkeling in Silfra, including neoprene hoods and gloves, a thermal drysuit, snorkel and fins. The equipment will keep you buoyant throughout your time in the fissure, as well as offering a protection against the water. Once in the water, your eyes will meet the incredible shades of blue so prevalent in the fissure, as well as the natural under-water flora canyon walls. As you are swimming you will have the opportunity to swim across continents, as you will be switching back and forth from the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. After the tour GoPRO pictures will be sent to you by email for free.

Inclusions: Professional English Speaking Guide, Guided snorkeling tour in Silfra Fissure, Free GoPro photos from the tour (underwater and out of the water), Small-group guaranteed & personal experience, Certified PADI dive / Dive-master Guide for Snorkeling Tour, Drysuit and all other snorkeling equipment that will keep you warm and dry, Hot drinks and cookies after snorkeling
