Experience the underwater world of Brela with a private scuba diving session designed around safety, patience, and personal attention. Whether you are trying scuba for the first time or you are a certified diver looking for a relaxed check dive, this experience keeps the group small, calm, and stress-free.
Choose between 2 options:
'Try Scuba' is ideal for first-time divers, nervous guests, and anyone curious about breathing underwater for the first time. You do not need previous experience. Your instructor will explain everything clearly, help you with the equipment, and guide you step by step so you can enjoy the dive at your own pace.
'Check Dive' is designed for certified divers who want to refresh their skills, get comfortable again, and explore Brela’s reef with a local instructor before continuing with more dives.
Your session lasts around 2.5 hours in total. Begin at the dive center, located directly on the beach in front of the dive site. Spend time preparing, learning basic theory, receiving your safety briefing, and putting on your equipment. Then enter the water from shore, with no need for a boat transfer.
The dive itself lasts a minimum of 45 minutes, giving you time to relax, breathe, and enjoy the underwater scenery. Brela’s reef offers depths from around 5 meters to over 20 meters, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced divers. Depending on your level and conditions, discover rocky formations, clear blue water, marine life, and the peaceful feeling of moving slowly beneath the surface.
After the dive, your photos and videos will be uploaded and shared with you through a Google Drive link, so you can relive the experience and show everyone that yes, you really did go diving in Croatia!

Ivan
I’m Ivan, your scuba instructor in Brela, and my main job is to make you feel safe before I ask you to do something unusual, like breathing underwater and pretending that is completely normal.
I keep my dives small, personal, and calm, with a maximum of 2 people, because nervous beginners deserve time, patience, and a guide who is fully focused on them. I will explain everything clearly, check your equipment carefully, and stay close during the dive so you can relax and enjoy the underwater world at your own pace!

A wonderful experience that I would recommend to everyone 😁 Ivan is extremely professional, serious and responsible, which made me feel completely safe throughout the dive. Thanks to his calm approach, patience and support, I was able to overcome my fear of the depths and experience something that I will remember for a long time. Thank you for an unforgettable experience 😊

Very beautiful spot to dive. The gear looked and felt very professional. The instructor gave a good introduction and made us feel very safe at all times. Great communication during the dive, the breefing before and over WhatsApp, I definitely recommend it! Thanks a lot Ivan!

Ivan is the coolest and most relaxed diving instructor! You feel totally safe with him, and it's so much fun! We've dived with him twice already. We'd love to do it again.

We were here two years ago for a trial dive and decided that if we ever did a diving course, it would only be here! Now we've finally been able to make our plan a reality. There was a lot to learn, but also a lot of fun. Our instructor, Ivan, taught us everything with great patience and calm. We are very grateful for that! Safety was a top priority, and he always addressed each individual's needs. We felt completely comfortable and safe during the training sessions, exercises, and dives. Thank you for the wonderful time ! 👌

Everything about the experience was amazing thanks to Ivan. From booking to clear instructions where to go, then the dive itself. It was my first time and Ivan made me feel safe and comfortable but was funny and a friendly guy. An unforgettable experience, thank you for making it so great!
