Uncovering the Secrets of Silfra
We’ve teamed up with Seiko, who make the Prospex Diver’s watch collection, to produce a three-part series examining one of the world’s most stunning dive sites – the Silfra Lagoon in Iceland.
In the first instalment, we talk to the British instructors who guide here about what makes Silfra so special, and why accurate timekeeping is essential for navigating its depths safely.
The second episode examines why dive instructors love it here, and how operating in such an extreme environment challenges their full range of skills.
