Davíðsgjá fissure. Nothing compares to experience of diving in pure water, and there is no dive spot purer than Davíðsgjá, also known as ‘David’s Crack’. This magnificent freshwater fissure is one of the best places to appreciate Iceland’s glacial power, as tons of melted water flow over volcanic lava rocks from deep underground, replenishing its astounding clarity every minute. There aren’t many places where you can see over 100m, and feel the ice cold sensation of a glacier on your lips. If you like clear water, the Silfra Diving Day Trip has to be experienced next.

Is Davíðsgjá similar to Silfra and is it possible to dive both site?
Davíðsgjá is another glacial fed site so the water is indeed cold and clear. The site is situated not far away on the other side of the lake. This means that both spots can be dived on the same day.
Do I need to be drysuit certified to dive Davíðsgjá?
You need to have a Drysuit certificate or proof of 10 logged drysuit dives from within the last two years.
Are there any fish live at Davíðsgjá?
Beautiful dwarf char live in the cracks and crevice at Davíðsgjá. Sometimes giant trout enter the site and look for food. In the summer we regularly see Arctic Charr in the shallow part of the lake.
