Many people do not know that there are snorkeling places in Iceland, in fact, the visibility of snorkeling in Iceland is very high, and snorkeling in glacier water, but also definitely want to let people stupid.
Because of my work, I went to Sferra snorkeling twice, should soon go to the third time, because the water here is too clear, clear to feel the water, but fly in the sky.
Float between two continental plates, between continents, in the clearest waters in the world (visibility over 100m) while enjoying the stunning colours of this underwater world. The Sferra snorkeling tour requires a dry wetsuit to stay warm and dry inside while swimming in the cold, clear waters.
Sferra is located in Singvillier National Park, which is listed as a UNESCO heritage site. This beautiful park is one of the wonders on the famous Golden Circle route.
Enter Sferra and spend about 45 minutes in the water. There are 4 sections of Sferra where you will float through the large fissure, the narrowest part of Sferra, where the continental plates are so close together that you can almost touch them. Then the crack expanded to Sferra Hall.
Here, the full color and clarity of Sferra becomes even more apparent. At this point, if you look at it from the right Angle, you can see all the way to Thingvallavatn Lake, 150m away. Near the entrance to Lake Singvillier, we will enter the Sferra Cathedral; When the depth reaches 23m, you will feel like you are flying over boulders and glacial silt. Your floating potential ends in endless views of Sferra Lagoon.
Snorkeling in Sferra is dangerous and requires participants to be able to understand English and communicate with the guide. If your partner can speak English and you can't, you can't participate in the trip. You must speak English to participate.
In addition to the diving gear provided by the operator, you also need to wear the right underwear. Fine wool, fleece, or quick-drying materials are the best materials to wear your pants and socks when diving.
Although the water temperature of the Schferra crack is low, because the dry diving suit can play a very good role in keeping warm, the exercise of diving will certainly sweat during the diving process, if you wear all cotton underwear, the sweat can not be drained out of the body will feel very uncomfortable.
This morning the guide posted a photo of me snorkeling in the Sferra Crevasse. It is so beautiful! When I went diving, the whole underwater was very clear and clean. It was true that the glacial meltwater was clean after being filtered by volcanic rocks. It was still a little cold in the water.
Because snorkeling is not very skilled so drink a lot of glacier water hahaha, there are a lot of water grass and some small jellyfish, on the road also saw wild ducks (but not photographed), there are small fry in the rock seam, very beautiful and very interesting. This feels like one of the most interesting things to do in Iceland! Life Checklist -1💗
