Davidsgja
La profundidad es el rango desde la cima del punto de buceo hasta su máximo habitual; la "certificación recomendada" es el nivel que los operadores suelen pedir según las agencias principales, no una norma legal. Las corrientes y la visibilidad cambian a diario, así que trata todo esto como rangos de planificación.
Davidsgja is Silfra's wilder sibling: a rift in the same lake, minus the queues, the platforms and some of the polish. The crack widens as it runs offshore into Thingvallavatn proper, and its water, lake-fed rather than purely spring-fed, trades a little clarity for the chance of meeting the lake's celebrated brown trout, which patrol the fissure like submarines in the blue-green light. Divers thread between boulders pinched in the cleft and pass sections where both walls fall away into shadow. Cold, quiet and slightly rough-edged, it suits those who want tectonic Iceland without the crowd choreography.
El momento por el que vienes: Uncrowded rift diving, resident brown trout, open-lake atmosphere
Topografía: A broad fissure running out into the open lake, with boulder jumbles and deep clefts
Entrada: A walk over rough ground from the road on Thingvallavatn's eastern shore; entries are less groomed than Silfra's stairs.
Lo que debes saber antes de tirarte al agua
Riesgos: Cold water, uneven shore entry, and changeable lake visibility after wind.
Conservación: Within the national park; the trout population is protected and not to be baited or harassed.
