Should you snorkel at Silfra?

Hello friends |

Silfra , inwards example you're non aware , is the topographic point inwards Republic of Iceland where 2 tectonic plates are pulling apart , too y'all tin dismiss truly larn correct betwixt them.
 Every yr the Eurasian plate too the North American plate drift 2-3 centimetres apart.  Between the 2 , you've got approximately freezing glacial run off that forms a beautiful petty lagoon.  What's to a greater extent than - it boasts approximately of the clearest waters inwards the basis amongst nearly 200m visibility.  So - should y'all snorkel (or , if you've got the experience - diving is also an option) there?  Short answer: yes.



How produce y'all larn nearly it?
Well , you've got to produce it amongst a guide.  This is a practiced affair , or you'd larn a crazy similar me who'd endure game for approximately bikini-clad swimming too would belike freeze themselves one-half to death.  Companies like Dive.is will provide y'all amongst all the gear y'all postulate to endure security , warm too dry.  Then they'll assistance y'all produce seemingly 'easy' things similar putting on flippers if y'all notice yourself completely incapable of doing so.

How much does it cost?
Less than I expected , to endure honest.  For nearly a 45 infinitesimal snorkel (you don't desire to a greater extent than than that... past times the xl infinitesimal grade y'all tin dismiss definitely experience the chill inwards your fingers) you're looking at sixteen ,990ISK.  A friendly H2O enthusiast volition also accept unflattering pictures of y'all (but proof that y'all did the snorkel) for approximately other 3000ISK.  As far every bit 'adventure-y' packages larn , I mean value this is pretty reasonable.  Also , Republic of Iceland is pretty expensive to showtime amongst , too so I idea it would endure more.


Is in that place anything else I should know?

You've got to have on a drysuit , too so don't endure also antsy inwards restrictive clothing.  Do a wee earlier y'all brand it the H2O or you'll belike endure busting the whole time.  Make certain y'all larn to the right coming together point and you'll endure fine.  They'll provide y'all amongst approximately biscuits too hot chocolate to assistance y'all warm upward your mutual frigidity , petty fingers afterwards.  Take a waterproof photographic goggle box camera or a GoPro too so y'all tin dismiss document the whole mind-blowing experience.  This materials is approximately of the most beautiful things y'all could perhaps reckon inwards the whole world.  Legit.

How produce I book?
Like everything inwards our space-age basis , y'all book online.
