One thing you cannot miss when travelling to Croatia is get a glance of the underwater scenery. Clear water provides perfect visibility and there are lots of caves and wrecks good for diving. Upon being picked up at your hotel, we will drive to the diving center, located only 10 minutes away from the center of Split.
If you are a first time diver, you will be fitted with brand new MARES scuba diving equipment and then you will hear the details of the upcoming dive. There will be a short theoretical introduction followed by equipment presentation. For your first dive, you will have all the instructors attention, as this is a one to one thing. It is very important to feel completely safe and comfortable about it, and this can be achieved only with an individual approach.
You will also learn the underwater hand signals, which is the only way to communicate underwater. Your instructor will then take you into the water, where you will first train in a shallow bay just in front of the diving center. When ready, you will descend further down to a maximum depth of 6 meters to see the fish and enjoy the weightlessness. Pictures and videos from your first underwater experience will be offered to you at the end, together with your Discover Scuba Diving Diploma.

My diving experience with Vladimir was fantastic.
He was clearly well experienced, friendly and patient, and I would definitely recommend a scuba diving experience to anyone interested.

I had such a great time, I booked a second dive. The dive takes place at the beach where there is a natural lagoon. You begin trying breathing underwater. And when you are comfortable, slowly descend to about 9 meters. Our instructor was very patient and made us feel safe. Lots of fish to see, hoops to swim through, a mini village, and a mountain bike ! Thank you team for a great introduction to diving. I have since done another dive in Portugal

This was my second time diving and for the first time for my boyfriend.
I will start with the bad and finish with the "good".
1. The diving costumes were smelling like mold!
I kept asking for another, and they kept ignoring me. I basically had to put that horrible costume on.
2. During the dive, our fings kept falling! It was around 3 or 4 times that the instructor had to look for our fings and put it back on our feet...
Because of this inconvenience with our fings keep falling from our feet because the diving costumes were not matching us and were cheap products.
At one point, I went to the surface.
The instructor came for me, and when I did my diving, I had the unlucky experience that the instructor made the sign to pop my ears a bit too late.
From that moment on, I felt horrible !!!!
My ear starts hurting like crazy and I couldn't swim or find my balance. The whole sea was spinning around with me.
I immediately showed the sign to the instructor to let her know I wasn't feeling okay.
She put me on the sea floor and kept me there a bit to feel better.
However, I couldn't do it anymore, so I pointed out that I wanted out of the sea.
The instructor took me out but left my boyfriend, who was having his first experience as diving, on the bottom of the sea.
It was horrifying! Because I started panicking, thinking, "If she is helping me now and something happens with my boyfriend, who is gonna help him?"
It was a horrifying and horrible experience.
The weights we had on our costumes kept, pulling me down to the bottom of the sea, and I kept pushing myself up, and I got something in my nail...
Had to go to the emergency to be checked because the farmacist was scared I got some herbs that might be dangerous, under the bleeding nail.
Imagine going on vacation and experiencing this...
I kept asking for our pictures, and when they finally send it, from 37 pictures, we have just 3 that are okay... but in those, there were pictures with some people that they weren't even us...
I have the proof as well... as I filmed under water the whole time...
The diving itself felt like you were in a pool. If you looked up, people were swimming over your head. They just put 1 bicycle, 1 fish star, and 1 sea cucumber, so pretty plain... The sea is shallow, and you barely see any fish.
The only good thing?
That I made out alive...
I will never, ever recommend this dive to anybody!
The instructor we had was a French lady, but I don't remember her name... Celestial or something like that...
Never again!!!!

I just went diving with Svetlana and I had a blast! Svetlana is knowledgeable and super friendly. In the scuba diving world that is unheard of. I can recommend this dive center to anyone that wants to have a good time diving in and out of the water. Very good team. Thanks you Svetlana!

Brilliant experience. Uri and Sergei were our tutors and we had one to one instruction which was well worth doing. As beginners we needed to be confident in the procedures and communication and they taught us in a very relaxed manner. We started in the bay below the Raddison Blu in shallow water and swam out and down to 7m. Definitely try this company as they were great with communicating via both email and phone and made sure we had a brilliant time.

Our scuba adventure was very fun! We went in mid-February, the water was a little cold but not unbearable or even that uncomfortable. The wetsuits kept us warm enough. We didn’t see much wildlife, but just being down at the bottom of the sea was very fun. Our guide was informative, aware of us while in the water, and certainly helped us be safe.
