The experience was a bit underwhelming but still something cool to do. The dry suit is awesome and keeps you warm and dry but you still feel the freezing cold water through your hands and face. The visibility you have is incredible but if you're used to underwater activities as I am, the landscape felt a bit dull. Our guide Ari (The Aquaman) was super nice and funny and made the whole thing better.

loved this experience! everything was great - it was a rainy day so most of our pics didn't come out which was unfortunate - also with the buoyancy of the dry suits you can't get underwater for the pictures - some of them are face half in and half out. I know the photos are a courtesy and I am super happy to have any at all but maybe a little more thought into how the guide takes them. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone interested. rain or sun it doesn't affect the water experience. we were very comfortable with the dry suits and only face and hands got cold like the description says. we had a blast!

It was an amazing experience. Our Guide Veronica did a fantastic job. She made us feel comfortable and safe at any time and gave us a lot of information about Silfra and our Snorkeling. The colors under water are beautiful. And the pictures provided have a great quality.
