The amazing visibility and accessibility makes Silfra a popular diving spot. The visibility is extraordinary at nearly 100 meters. The reasons for this outstanding clarity are two-fold. First, the water is cold - 2o and 4oC and remains at this temperature all year round. The coldness keeps the water free of aquatic life. Secondly, the water itself is of the purest form.
