Open Water began in 1995 as a small diving school on the coast near Split, founded by Vladimir Stipčević – dive instructor, skipper and still the first person you’ll meet on the boat.
Diving is built on trust. Over the years, our divers kept returning with their families and friends – some wanted to explore above the water too. So we grew, carefully: boat days, snorkeling trips, activities along the coast. What never changed is the scale. Small groups. Personal guides. Time to breathe.
