“Diving Silfra is fenomenal. It is one for the bucketlist. I did it in the winter with my dry suit freezing as I got out of the cristal clear water. Not as cold as I expected. Not as long a dive but definitely worth every penny. The walk back can be a struggle. Btw, Guillaume, my guide, was great.”
