Diving in Croatia

 

Who we are

Our dive centre is on the romantic island of Murter in Central Dalmatia. Dives in the National Park Kornati, the wreck of the Francesca di Rimini and the red gorgonia in Babuljasi are definitely among the highlights of the Adriatic Sea. With our speed boats we can reach fascinating, but sometimes more distant locations, within a reasonable time. After the dives there is plenty of time to enjoy the overwhelming landscape and culture to be found above the water.

We offer education according to PADI and PDA guidelines, providing all levels of training from introductory dives to professional certification of dive instructors. We specialise in diving and courses for children and in addition to our depth of experience we also provide specially sized children's equipment.

We believe that a dive centre should do more than just guide groups to the dive sites. Through our SEA MORE program, in association with several scientific groups, we want to convey awareness and knowledge about life in Poseidon’s Garden to our clients.

 

Where we are

Murter is one of 1,185 Croatian islands and is connected by bridge to the mainland. Most of our guests come by car using the comfortable A1 highway. Close to Murter there are two large airports: Zadar about 60 km away and Split about 100 km away.

After millions of years caressing the coastline, the Adriatic Sea has created a unique landscape. Today this part of the coast, with its diverse islands, romantic bays, serpentine roads and breathtaking summits, has developed into a tourist attraction.

For a long time the Kornati Islands have been known as a sailor’s paradise. Only recently has it been discovered that the underwater landscape is easily as impressive as the archipelago above the sea. Around Murter you can find historical centres like the towns of Zadar and Sibenik and natural beauty such as Krka National Park with its many waterfalls.

 

What you can expect

If you expect the high life, with disco dancing until the early morning and crowded bars, you could be a little disappointed. What you can expect is the full Mediterranean flair: romantic bays, the scent of pine trees, a nice fish dinner in the harbour, beautiful sunsets and perfect dives. If you think that there are no colours in the Mediterranean Sea you will be pleasantly surprised - we can take you to walls covered with red fan corals and colourful sponges. We can show you caves and guide you to areas dotted with pieces of old amphorae, and sometimes dolphins join us on the way to our dive sites.

 

The Dive Sites

 

Steep walls dropping off into the blue are characteristic of the area around Murter and the Kornati Archipelago. Some of them are overgrown with red fan corals which glow an incredible deep red when you shine your torch on them. We support a scientific group that started a project in October 2007 to map these gorgonia walls. Not much is currently known about these corals since they mostly grow only below 25m.

The Education Padi education in Croatia

We offer the full range of PADI, SSI and EUF courses up to Assistant Instructor and PDA courses up to Instructor. Since Murter is a family orientated resort we specialise in children's diving.
