Outing Highlights
Coral walls, gorgonians and Mediterranean life
Dive sites in Central Dalmatia feature colourful walls overgrown with corals, sponges and gorgonians, plus caves, wrecks and the region’s characteristic fauna — grouper, lobster, octopus, conger eel and more.
Dozens of sites a short boat hop from Split
The operator runs excursions to over 30 distinct diving sites, each reachable within roughly 15–80 minutes by boat — a compact network of top dive locations in Central Dalmatia.
Maslinica: the lunchtime interlude
After the first dive the trip calls a break in Maslinica on the island of Šolta, a small harbour village with several restaurants and cafés where divers regroup before the second dive.
