For this three-day... - For this three-day course, Marin is my instructor. He is super kind and reliable throughout the process. He definitely looked after as his buddy. Diving is a great experience and I will certainly dive more and more in the future. I wish all the best to Orca Diving Centre and would love to come back one day!

Best Scuba Diving Place and Experience - My brother and I both did a “try scuba diving” course, and we had a blast! This staff at this place are super friendly and helpful and speak English. My brother and I enjoyed our time there so much, we also decided to pursue our diving certification for up to 12m. Our instructor Sergei was super nice and friendly. He was very patient and helpful with our group, and made the experience so much fun! I truly would recommend everyone to go here, and ask for him as he’s the best instructor I have ever had. This place is awesome! And there is a restaurant above Incase you are hungry.

Save and happy diving in Pula - Sergej gave me the confidence to breathe calmly under water and with his great help it was easy to get the Open Water license. The Orca team around Olga and Marin gave us a great time and dives. Definitely recommendable! Ines & Mario

Fantastic Open Water Diver Course with Matt - I took the PADI Open Water Diver Course at Orca Diving Centre. I found the course was well organised and the team were good at adapting the course to our needs and schedule. Everyone at Orca was also very friendly and welcoming. I could tell that my instructor, Matt, was both very knowledgeable and very passionate about diving. He was an understanding instructor and was happy to go back over the exercises if there were parts I didn’t understand. We did the open water dives on Orca’s house reef and Matt showed me round a number of really cool spots whilst we were out. Aside from doing the required skills to meet the PADI certification, he also passed on useful practical guidance to help me in my future diving career. Overall, I would definitely recommend Orca to anyone looking to take a course or to try diving!

Best Padi Open Water course with Matt - With Matt (or Matija) as an instructor, it was always fun and chill to go for a dive! He did everything at our pace and was really patient and responsible and taught us everything in a fun way! Thanks for giving us the scuba vibe, Matt! We like to SCUBA!

Best diving center ever! - We wanted to take the open water course during our week in Pula. We booked in advance by email and it was great! Olga and the staff are really nice and fun, the equipment is good and we enjoyed it very much! Our instructor Jin was so much fun we laughed all the time! During the course, she was very patient and clear when she explained the exercises. We took the course in 3 days and even got a free dive in the end! The club is 3 meters away from the sea and there’s a restaurant above it that’s good too! If you’re looking for a good spot to dive in Pula, don’t hesitate to go there because it’s the best place! Hvala !
