Trial Scuba Diving in Rijeka"Parking was difficult, which is why part of our group was late. That was no problem at all for the people at this dive school. They really took the time to explain everything thoroughly and then guided us very well. As beginners, we felt very safe under the guidance of these experienced instructors. It was an unforgettable experience. Beautiful: the rock walls, vegetation, and various fish species in large schools. Highly recommended!"Andre · August 2026
