- alinegY2048ZM00GALERIA VALERIA “ BOUTIQUE HOTEL” IN SPLIT,CROATIAHorrible experience . This is not a “boutique hotel” rather a 2 ** hotel. WIFI & SATELLITE TV off very frequently. Dirty floors. Sone members of staff were acceptable even though I didn t appreciate them to take customers personal data through photos taken with their personal smartphone. Staff at desk behaving as they were doin you a big favour. I ve been travelling a lot but I never saw such a bad hotel. Expensive rates despite mediocrity!!!
- 95kimb00Brilliant day out mixed ages from 9 to 77. Staff really looked after us , great experience for everyone.Really good value for money exceptional staff felt totally safe. Pick ups and drop offs really efficient. Fantastic experience for mixed abilities thoroughly enjoyable day lots of photos and videos taken and supplied in the price with a go pro
- RachelM46700Absolutely fantastic!!! Brilliant company!I was reccomended this company by the owner of the accommodation I had booked in Strobec. After seeing so many types of tours/different types of boats etc and have to say that I'm over the moon that we got to tour with this company. Fantastic communication and lots of different tours to offer and very accommodating to what we as a group wanted to do. Our Skipper and Tour Guide Vlad made the whole day so enjoyable with great knowledge of the area and places to see and we were out from 9am until 6pm! We stopped at a few islands, a tunnel and a winery and then were taken for dinner on a tiny island which was just incredible! The boat was comfortable enough too which was good!!! We didn't get a good weather day and it was very cold so we didn't get to go in the water much however it did mean that when we went for dinner it was only us there! Win! And we were advised to wrap up. Cannot reccomended the team enough and want to say a special thanks for making my friends hen party so special! Vlad is a LEGEND!!!!
- amarguerite202200Génial - great !Alina and Vlado were great ! We enjoyed the moment in Croatia with them. Thank you for all open water team’s.
- 434joem00Boat tripWe just finished a boat trip to two islands off split with Vladimir our captain for the day The trip was only supposed to b from 9.00 to 1.00p.m but Vladimir kept us out to 3.00p.m. .he gave us two stop offs with as much time as we wanted. The snorkeling stops were brilliant. I couldn't reccomend open water highly enough it was just a brilliant day and our company on the boat were brilliant too. Monique Derek sue and her husband. Validmers recommendation of burgers too was good Have booked another trip tomorrow with open water. If you r in split book them now you wont regret it
- SJL220900Blue Lagoon and TrogirFantastic half day speedboat trip from Podstrana to Trogir. Including a ride to the Blue Lagoon for snorkelling or swimming. Very good trip. Thanks Vlad for being an excellent captain.
- Nicr8500Awesome raftingThe scenery is spectacular. The guides were fantastic. The rafting itself was absolutely thrilling and there was even some time for swimming.
- Deborah A00Wonderful tour with great host Vladimir!We booked to go island-hopping with Vladimir and stopped off at a few coves for swimming. Not only was he a friendly and accommodating host, Vlad was able to talk us through some of Croatia's unique history and fun-facts we didn't know. He was so gracious - thank you again, Vlad! We had an incredible day!
- jeremysZ5273FI00Amazing day out with the fantastic host VladimirBooked a half day speedboat hire from Radisson Blu hotel here in Split. Greeted by Alina and walked to our awaiting boat and met Vladimir - our Captain. Truly exceptional host - took great care of us and took us to some great scuba locations. Highly recommend Open Water Croatia.
- fredericom86100Excellent tripWe recently did two boat tours and one rafting with this agency and it worked beautifully!! Alina was extremely present with good tour planning and the skipper Vladimir was very gentle with excellent navigation showing all the main spots in the safest manner possible. The rafting team was also amazing with material support and safety in first place!!
- Cruiser0873127309200Best dive school ever!😍Its a great school for diving!I have learned a lot and would like to stay there permanently!!😍🐠🐳🐳
- thompsonUK2500Excellent serviceWe were staying in the Meridien Lav and wanted a company that specialised in small group tours and would collect us from our hotel in Podstrana and take us to the Krka Falls. We read a number of reviews on line and had expected to find the company's office in the harbour of our hotel, but it has moved. It was, however, easy to book on line. There are many companies offering this trip. Whilst some are definitely cheaper, we thought that Open Waters provided excellent value for money.. The price included entrance to the national park, as well as a guided tour of Sibinek. There were only two couples on our trip and at no time did it feel rushed. We drove directly to the National park, where our guide organised our tickets. The river trip takes about 25 minutes each way and we spent three hours at the Falls themselves, which is ample time. Our guide didn't come into the park with us, but let us explore at our own pace. We preferred this, as it's impossible to get lost, there are information boards and you can stop and gaze as long as you want to. Once we left the Falls, we stopped for refreshments before driving to Sibenik and having a guided tour of the old city.
- tobywallace700Tours For AllSo it was my first time in Croatia this week and I am traveling solo. Staying in Podstrana and wanting to see everything in a short amount of time was going to be impossible. So I had to pick the best option fast. My hotel hooked me up with Open Water where I spoke directly with Alina by phone and email throughout the day to find me that best option. She recommended Plitvice Lakes and it was a superb decision. I’m likely to review the park separately but for the tour I will say it was without question one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had. Being surrounded by miles of waterfalls is like something I wouldn’t even see in a video game but seeing it for real was emotional. Everyone on our tour had a blast and our tour guide, Elena, was a doll. She had great charisma and was so knowledgeable about everything but what really touched me was how willing she was to take our pictures at this place. And believe me, wait until you see it, you will WANT to have pictures with the waterfalls! Open Water Tours got me to Plitvice Lakes. Imagine where they might get you. Ask for Alina, she is a problem solver. She can make arrangements for anyone who needs them too, just let her know your needs. Loved Open Water Tours, loved Plitvice Lakes and it’s impossible not to love Croatia!
- Camilla A00krka national park is amazingWe didn't take a one day trip, but had rented a car and drove there by our self. it's a nice walk following the education path (4 km) on the way down to the waterfalls. The nature is stunning and the water in the bottom of the waterfall is chilly and full of fish, but if you go here, you need to go for a swim it's wonderful (remember beach shoes, there is a lot of rocks) we spend around 6 hours in the krka national park that was without taking a boat trip in the krka river (these trips is 2-3,5 hours depending of which one you decide to join) Tis is a must visit if you're in Croatia, I LOVED this place. Price to inter the national park is 100 kn per person and the boat trips inside is 100 kn for route 1, 130 for route 2 and I don't know about route 3

Alina and the Open Water team are phenomenal! Fabulous customer service and they were able to schedule a dive for my husband and I and a class for our daughter. LOVE this business and their attention to detail! A definite go-to if you are in Split!

Had a great day with one dive on a wreck with 4 divers of mixed ability, some snorkelling on a smaller wreck and then docked at a taverns for lunch. All kit was great and we were completely relaxed with Vlad who was an ex commercial diver with masses of experience. Not cheap but well organised and bespoke and friendly. Goes from the dock at the Meridian hotel.

Alina and Vladimir proved to be excellent tutors. As a family of 5 (Mum, Dad, 21,19 and 16) this was our first time attempting to scuba dive. We were collected from our hotel and driven to to dive centre. There were mixed feelings of excitement and apprehension amongst us... Our nerves were soon put at rest. We had a great experience, the smiles on everyone's faces after a 20 minute dive were wide and lasted well into the evening. At which point we received the photos and video that Alina took.
Would definitely recommend...

This was my second time diving and for the first time for my boyfriend.
I will start with the bad and finish with the "good".
1. The diving costumes were smelling like mold!
I kept asking for another, and they kept ignoring me. I basically had to put that horrible costume on.
2. During the dive, our fings kept falling! It was around 3 or 4 times that the instructor had to look for our fings and put it back on our feet...
Because of this inconvenience with our fings keep falling from our feet because the diving costumes were not matching us and were cheap products.
At one point, I went to the surface.
The instructor came for me, and when I did my diving, I had the unlucky experience that the instructor made the sign to pop my ears a bit too late.
From that moment on, I felt horrible !!!!
My ear starts hurting like crazy and I couldn't swim or find my balance. The whole sea was spinning around with me.
I immediately showed the sign to the instructor to let her know I wasn't feeling okay.
She put me on the sea floor and kept me there a bit to feel better.
However, I couldn't do it anymore, so I pointed out that I wanted out of the sea.
The instructor took me out but left my boyfriend, who was having his first experience as diving, on the bottom of the sea.
It was horrifying! Because I started panicking, thinking, "If she is helping me now and something happens with my boyfriend, who is gonna help him?"
It was a horrifying and horrible experience.
The weights we had on our costumes kept, pulling me down to the bottom of the sea, and I kept pushing myself up, and I got something in my nail...
Had to go to the emergency to be checked because the farmacist was scared I got some herbs that might be dangerous, under the bleeding nail.
Imagine going on vacation and experiencing this...
I kept asking for our pictures, and when they finally send it, from 37 pictures, we have just 3 that are okay... but in those, there were pictures with some people that they weren't even us...
I have the proof as well... as I filmed under water the whole time...
The diving itself felt like you were in a pool. If you looked up, people were swimming over your head. They just put 1 bicycle, 1 fish star, and 1 sea cucumber, so pretty plain... The sea is shallow, and you barely see any fish.
The only good thing?
That I made out alive...
I will never, ever recommend this dive to anybody!
The instructor we had was a French lady, but I don't remember her name... Celestial or something like that...
Never again!!!!

Dear Andreea,
Im not sure what happened that made you write such a terrible review, since we had a healthy communication before and after your dive, through whatsapp, and you didnt mention any of these issues to me. The only thing that could have possibly made you angry is the delay with sending the pictures-I apologize for that-its a very busy period and the camera goes out on every dive and we are sending the pictures ussually in the evenings.
I hope you did enjoy your dive regardless of what you wrote out of anger or frustration.
I wish you a fun rest of the vacation.

Hi, I am a PADI AOW diver, my friend is a complete beginner - do you have an experience that will cater to both of us?
I’m happy to stay within the beginner limits, not expecting deep dives etc just excited to see the underwater world from Croatia and wondered what you have available that we could both do - we’ll be there next week!

I wear glasses. I quite need them to see more than two feet in front of me. Would I be able to do this, or should I bring contacts or something?
