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.

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.
