"★ Perfect for beginners!
My first dive in Rovinj was fantastic – great support, clear explanations, and an impressive underwater world. Highly recommended for beginners!"Matthias, August 12, 2025
"€10 per person isn't really a lot, but they only showed us which direction we could snorkel in, and that was it. In the end, you pay €10 for the snorkeling gear, because anyone can snorkel there."Maik, July 19, 2025

What customers love about scuba diving near Portorož
"I would like to recommend this diving center for proffession. My instructor was very nice, gentle and proffetional. It was very nice to dive in this area. A lot of fun and exciting. If you ask about price it depends ... because in Spain you can dive for 50€, 60€ or 70€. Here there is 100 €. A little bit too much. But holistic is very good experience. Best regards."
