Scuba diving in Split – aerial view of the Croatian coastline

Scuba diving in Split

Scuba diving in Split and Omis opens the door to a quieter side of the Adriatic: underwater canyons, reefs, walls and the remains of sunken ships. Whether this will be your first breath underwater or you already dive every season, Open Water Croatia helps you choose an experience that matches your certification, confidence and available time. Our team has guided divers in this part of Croatia since 1995, with small groups, personal attention and no unnecessary rush.
