Silfra Fissure - Dive Between Two Continental Plates

Silfra Fissure is the only place where you can dive or snorkel directly in the crack between two continental plates and is the clearest water on earth.
Silfra Fissure is located in Thingvellir National Park in Iceland, the Silfra dive site is approximately 60 kilometres (a 45-minute drive) from Reykjavik.
The Silfra fissure, is known as one of the top dive sites in the world for two main reasons.
First, the Silfra fissure is actually a crack between the North American and Eurasian continents, meaning that you dive or snorkel right where the continental plates meet and drift apart about 2cm per year.
Secondly, the underwater visibility in the Silfra fissure is over 100 meters, which creates an underwater experience that will rarely, if ever, be surpassed.
The reasons for this astounding water clarity are twofold: the water is cold (2°C - 4°C year round ) as it is melt water from the nearby Langjökull Glacier and this water is filtered through porous underground lava for 30-100 years until it reaches the north end of Thingvellir lake, seeping out from underground wells.
The Silfra water is as pristine as water can get and you can drink it at anytime during your dive or snorkel.
Thanks for watching.

Mind blowing how clear that is

[@WonderWorldYTC]

I was more mind blown about how the water filters through 50 klms of lava rock for 30-100 years

[@WonderWorldYTC]

I scuba dived at great barrier reef, which was my first time ever and i did not need a cert, just an instructor following me, maybe they could do something like that also?

[@i.editzz.i5350]

U deserve millions of viewers and subscribers......nice video keep the good 👍 work

[@tempestpncr6335]

I don't think people understand that no matter how much polution occurs the fissure will generally always be clean because of the way it filters everything out

[@garasi_info]

May I use some of this video (just a few seconds) to add to my video as a visual illustration entitled "Why Japan Often Occurs Earthquakes", I will include the source of this video in the video and the video description on credit.

[@dronexfun8469]

Crater Lake, OR has a visibility of 800 ft.

[@WonderWorldYTC]

I watched a few videos of Crater Lake and it has some good visibility but not much, here is an example of diving crater lake - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZLFipZ9eZd7rKs

[@rorycarter6948]

[@sushiltandale811]

[@lettylazcano7912]

Fun fact you drink water while diving

[@ktm626sxc]

Dont forget your divingcert if your going there to scubadive.

[@ktm626sxc]

@Bradley Frank Great.. sometimes you nead to eat English crapy food..

[@ktm626sxc]

@Bradley Frank Rolig kille du e då. Simma lungt 🤘

[@detective.chitzuru4461]

This is where I wanna drown.

[@dollyshisler-farias2775]

Where’s the fish

[@WonderWorldYTC]

listen to video again, I explain this

[@deanspencer7519]

I would guess, as the water is filtered and so clear there is not much for them too eat. the cold is not a problem. plenty of fish under ice and the very depths of the sea which both are colder.

[@PaperDragons]

Too cold for the fishies

[@WonderWorldYTC]

@@deanspencer7519 now I don't know much about fish, but I am going to assume there are fish that can survive in the artic cold waters and fish that can't, just like bears vs polar bears

[@RedStefan]

Bah bye
