A darker and longer sibling of Silfra, Davíðsgjá is a monstrous crack in Lake Thingvellir. Its visibility is dependent on weather conditions but on most days it reaches an impressive 100m. Although often mentioned together with Silfra, this go-to diving site for many locals has promising sights and experiences of its own. The size of the crack alone will leave a lasting impression. It is simply impossible to take it all in at once. The scale and underground architecture complement each other as you have plenty of space to explore massive lava formations.
Iceland is one of very few places in the world where you can actually dive through the separation of a tectonic divide and this deep split in the middle of one of Iceland’s largest glacier formed lakes will blow your mind. Great visibility, swim throughs, the underwater volcanic valley of America and Europe pulling apart and the ghostly shadows of trout lingering in the blue water.

We can all agree that diving is about adventures. And few can top the feeling of floating around monuments of Iceland’s powerful geothermal activity. Rock vibrations, air bubbles rushing towards the surface, magnificent craters and lava formations are a treasured experience even for divers who think they’ve already seen it all.
This isn’t a regular dive you can complete and log anywhere in the world. Very few locations are blessed with such geological wonders, and even fewer offer Volcano Diver specialty courses.
The fact that you’re a diver already says a lot about how curious you are. So why not take it up a notch and make memories beyond compare with an official certificate?
