Experience the Magic of the Underwater World: Diving Holiday in Croatia

If you love adventure and want to experience the fascination of the underwater world, then a diving holiday in Croatia is just right for you. Dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic and discover a world full of wonders and beauty.

For over 25 years, Croatia has been a popular destination for diving holidaymakers from all over the world. With its numerous underwater caves, canyons, and impressive reefs, it offers an unparalleled diving experience. And the best part: you can discover animals and plants here that you won't find anywhere else in the world. A paradise for underwater photographers!

The clear water, the fascinating marine life, and the breathtaking rock formations invite you to discover and explore. A special highlight is the many ship and airplane wrecks that lie on the seabed.

Under the guidance of professional diving instructors and with the necessary safety equipment, you can dive into this unique world. Your diving holiday in Croatia will thus become an unforgettable experience.

Diving Holiday in Croatia: With a Diving School or on Your Own?

In Croatia, you have the option to turn to a professional diving school that offers organized diving tours. Make sure that the schools have valid licenses and an approved diving instructor. With the diving instructor, you are also allowed to dive in waters that are closed to individual divers.

However, you can also plan and carry out your diving holiday in Croatia on your own. Inform yourself well in advance about the best diving spots and organize your diving trips yourself. You only need a diving certificate and a diving permit and are only allowed to dive in permitted diving zones. But be careful: you dive at your own risk!

The Best Diving Spots in Croatia

The best diving spots in Croatia can be found in Istria, the Kvarner Bay, and Dalmatia. Particularly recommended are:

  • Brijuni Islands with the diving hotspot Peneda and the wreck of the passenger ship "Baron Gautsch"
  • Korcula – here you will find around 35 exciting diving spots with caves (Big Cave, Blue Hole) and shipwrecks like the Gardasee or the Boca.
  • Kornati National Park – Here lie many wrecks, but the diverse environment with walls, reefs, and cliffs as well as countless species of animals is particularly fascinating.
  • Krk – The shallow coastal sections of the beautiful island are well suited for beginners.
  • Kvarner Bay – Here lie particularly many historical wrecks.
  • Rab – The Bear Cave Medova Bua is one of the most beautiful diving spots and is suitable for beginners.

If you want to go snorkeling during your diving holiday in Croatia, we recommend the crystal-clear dream bays on the coast near Stara Baska on Krk.

The Highlights of a Diving Holiday in Croatia: Diving to the Wrecks

Most of the wrecks you can discover on a diving holiday in Croatia are located in the region of Istria, the island of Vis, or in Dalmatia near Split.

Wrecks in Istria:

  • The British minesweeper Coriolanus off the coast of Novigrad
  • The Italian minesweeper Giusepe Dezza (TA-35) south of Rovinj
  • The armored ship Hans-Schmidt off the coast of Pula

Wrecks near Split (only suitable for experienced divers!):

  • The Italian military ship Re d’Italia
  • The military ship Brijuni
  • The Greek ship Vassilios is the largest wreck in the Adriatic

Planes and Submarine Wrecks:

In addition to historical ships, there are also crashed planes and sunken submarines to discover on a diving holiday in Croatia.

  • Rijeka: the German submarines UB-129 and U-82.
  • Vis: planes B-24 (only accessible with favorable currents).
  • Zirje: Italian combat bomber Junkers Ju 87, also easily accessible for beginners

Tip for Beginners

A special highlight during a diving holiday in Croatia are underwater museums such as the Historical Underwater Park Losinj. The exhibited objects are located at shallow depths and are therefore easily accessible.
