Additional Information

Our program commences each day at two intervals - 10 am and 3 pm. Please indicate your preferred arrival time. ‘Try Scuba’ is our initiative for diving beginners. This initiative includes an introductory session on scuba diving which involves a brief theoretical segment led by a qualified Instructor or Divemaster, followed by a display and explanation of the necessary equipment. Once you’ve got the hang of the basics and grasp what we do underwater, you’re ready to embark on your journey to unravel the remainder 75% of the world that lies beneath the water surface. The starting point of your immersion into the undersea world is our in-house reef situated on Yacht Beach, under the Hotel Park Plaza Histria on Verudela in Pula. This is where your first aquatic exploration journey commences. Your accompanying Instructor or Divemaster will also point out the various marine life including fish, nudibranches, crabs, eels and everything else that exists in our marine environment, not forgetting the ancient amphoras that date back to 2000 years ago.

Perfect for Beginners and intermediates - Theoretical introduction is in English, German or other languages. Takes about 1 hour to dress with equipment. The dive takes 45 minutes. The guide shows you everything and pays attention to you. During diving you can also move around freely. All in all, I can only recommend the course for Beginners. Various qualifications are also offered. For example, the Open Water Dive ticket lasts 3-6 days, depending on how much time you have and costs just under 500€.

Truly one of the greatest experiences of our vacation - Really professional crew with a variety of options for dives. We did a basic dive right outside the location and saw lots of cool things, and a dive with boat to some nearby caves with Marin. I really recommend doing this if you like scuba diving. They also take pictures and videos and mail them afterwards. 5/5 ⭐️

Best experience on our trip! - Thanks a lot to everyone in Orca Diving Centre but specially to Sergei for this amazing experience. Having him as our instructor definetly made a difference, making us feel very calm through the whole dive. Both of us had a blast trying scuba for the first time. No doubt we will do it again!

Perfect first experience in scuba diving - We had Marin as our instructor and he was absolutely brilliant. He spoke very good English and made sure we got all the necessary information and understood everything there was to know before going under water. It was our first scuba dive experience. One hour under water went so fast and we had the best time. We got to have fun and explore the underwater world. Marin was very helpful when I had a little problems with my ears in the beginning. Couldn't ask for a better first experience. All the equipment were in a very good condition. I 100% recommend this and you are very lucky if you get Marin as your instructor. 🙏♥️
