Good Points: A very professionally run dive centre. I have experienced some dive centres that can best be described as organised chaos. This was a very pleasant contrast. The Rib took 10 divers and although this was somewhat cosy, good organisation meant it was always comfortable.
Bad Points: Credit card payment not accepted but this seems a common trait for dive centres abroad. Also, payment expected in advance (though after some negotiation a deposit was acceptable), I have always paid at the end of the dive package previously.
General comments: I have dived in many parts of the world and I would rate this very highly. If you enjoy interesting topographical dives, the island of Korcula offers spectacular walls, overhangs and caves. The owners of Croatia Diving are very professional with a personal touch and safety is their first priority. The friendly staff were very helpful and well qualified, trained & supervised. I used mostly my own equipment but the centre was very well equipped and has recently purchased much new gear. The dive sites were interesting and easy. Views were very good and whilst the wildlife was not in the red sea class, there was lots to sea if you kept your eyes peeled. On one dive I saw a beautiful large blue and yellow Moray. Octopus were common and many different species of nudibranch. The dives were organised into well defined groups according to experience & qualification which meant a good balance of safety and diving interest.

I enjoyed my stay very much. Also after diving we had a good time with the Croatia Divers Crew as we joined them with diner in a Pizza restaurant and after that we had a couple of drinks. The dive sites are good, enough variation as this year June it will be my third year diving with them and I'm sure I haven't seen it all yet! My daughters will start her Junior Open water course with Croatia Divers as I know she is in very good hands.

We were on our honeymoon and had decided to do a bit of diving as we were already divers. The owner seemed quite friendly but there was a lot of 'sales talk' - in fact he talked at us for a long time. We ended up doing an Advanced Diver's course, thinking this would be something new to add to our knowledge - which was fine.
When out on the boat they turned out to be less than the laid-back friendly personalities one normally associates with divers. While there is no doubt diving is a risky s ...

The Croatia Divers dive centre is situated on the harbour exit of the beautiful Adriatic island of Korkula, Vela Luka. It is fabulous, and I will return.
The location is as quiet or as rowdy as you want. Not a resort (no Easyjet Alicante chav types here). The locals are friendly, and you have access to some of the most lovely parts of Croatia. A bus from the island (I know, there is a bridge...) takes you to Dubrovnik. Well worth a couple of days. Also, do not be afraid of the "sleepy bed" pe ...
