Discover Diving in Split with Waterworld d.o.o.

Split, Croatia, a coastal city on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, is not just famed for its Roman architecture and bustling waterfront—it stands as a gateway to some of the most vibrant underwater ecosystems in the Mediterranean. Waterworld d.o.o. offers an immersive full-day diving experience tailored specifically for non-certified divers eager to test the waters and encounter the rich marine habitats around the islands of Šolta and Čiovo.

This Discover Scuba Diving program provides an 8-hour adventure, starting with crucial skill-building sessions in a calm, protected cove near Split’s coastline. Under expert guidance, participants practice essential diving techniques in crystal-clear, sheltered waters before progressing to open-water dives. Here, the seascape bursts with color—rocky reefs, colorful sponges, and schools of Mediterranean fish weave together a thriving, biodiverse playground.

The islands of Šolta and Čiovo form a natural marine sanctuary with underwater cliffs, caves, and seagrass meadows that shelter species such as the ornate wrasse, groupers, and curious octopuses. Diving in these waters reveals not only the ecological wealth of the Adriatic but also a chance to quietly connect with a less crowded, pristine part of Croatia’s coastline.
