Details
Not sure what to do while on holiday in Croatia? We have just the right activity for you to break away from the day-to-day camping routine. Our discovery dives allow you to take a sneak peek into the world of scuba diving and see for yourself why this sport is so popular around the world. Experience what it's like to explore the underwater world without having to re-surface for air every couple of seconds. The beautiful submarine landscape right in front of Straško campsite in Novalja will have you in awe!
Dive Area
Our house reef is ideal for your discovery dive as it is easily accessible and unique in terms of its biodiversity. Since fishing is prohibited here, there are many different types of fish that don't shy away from divers who come to visit, making it a perfect spot for your first attempt at scuba diving.
Programme- Meeting & Preparation:
We meet at our dive centre at the time specified in your booking confirmation. Upon arrival at our camp, please proceed to the reception area where you'll check in. You'll be asked to leave one form of identification, which will be returned to you upon departure. Feel free to request a camp map for your convenience, or simply follow the road signs directing you to the diving center, where you'll find us located. If you arrive by car, paid car parking is available at the entrance to the camp. Free parking is available on the way to the camp.
After arriving at the spot, you will receive a short theoretical introduction to teach you some basics of scuba diving such as how to use your equipment, how to conduct yourself underwater, and how to communicate with your buddy. Once you're ready, we will provide you with your rental equipment and you can get started. Since you will be diving at our house reef, it is only a short walk down to the beach from which you will enter into the water.
- Diving:
The dive itself will take approximately 30 minutes, during which time you will dive to a maximum depth of 5m and explore the surroundings.
- Return:
Once the dive is over, we exit the water at the same beach we entered and walk back to the dive centre.

Very knowledgeable and competent staff. Very helpful, especially with first-time divers. Fantastic experience, swimming in clear waters on the seabed among fish and marine flora and fauna. Highly recommended.

Due to unfavorable weather, the dive had to be postponed. The on-site staff did everything they could to make the dive possible. Thank you very much.
The on-site team was very friendly and seemed competent, explaining everything important about the equipment in a clear and understandable way.
