Iceland is a destination best experienced with the freedom of your own car. During this self-drive<\/em> trip, you set your own pace and follow a route along one of the most impressive landscapes in Europe. Along the way you will drive through vast lava fields, past black beaches, glaciers that reach to the horizon and waterfalls that seem to fall out of the landscape from nowhere. The distances are manageable, but the variation in nature makes each day completely different. <\/p>

One of the most special experiences during this trip is diving in Silfra<\/span><\/span><\/strong>. Here you literally float between two tectonic plates in water that comes from the Langj\u00f6kull<\/span><\/span> glacier. Because of centuries of filtration by lava rock, the water is exceptionally clear, giving you dozens of meters of visibility as you move through a narrow, blue-green canyon. The feeling of silence and weightlessness makes this diving experience unique in the world. <\/p>

You’ll also explore Iceland’s south coast with iconic sites like Seljalandsfoss<\/strong> and Sk\u00f3gafoss<\/strong>, and travel on to black sand beaches and impressive canyons like Fja\u00f0r\u00e1rglj\u00fafur. Further west awaits the diverse Sn\u00e6fellsnes Peninsula, where volcanoes, glaciers, cliffs and beaches converge in one compact area. <\/p>

This trip is all about combining active nature experiences with special moments under and above water. You drive yourself, stop where you want and experience Iceland in a direct and pure way. Every day brings new landscapes, new views and an ever-changing scenery, with nature constantly playing the leading role. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Best travel time for a diving trip to Iceland<\/b><\/h5>

The best travel time is April through September. During these months the days are long, the roads are passable and the chances of calm weather are greatest. Nature is at its most beautiful and you have plenty of time to explore the south coast and Sn\u00e6fellsnes. <\/p>

Diving in Silfra<\/span><\/span> can be done year-round. The water remains constant around 3 to 4\u00b0C with extremely good visibility, making the experience almost the same in every season. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"\"Wetsuit advice for Iceland<\/h3>\n

The temperatures in the table are for sea water. In Silfra the water temperature is almost constantly around 2 to 4 \u00b0C throughout the year. A dry suit is mandatory here. We also recommend a dry suit for sea diving because of the low temperatures. A 7 mm wetsuit or semi-dry suit is a possible alternative, but since in Silfra you dive with a dry suit anyway, most divers choose to use it throughout the trip. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n
