    Perfect first experience in scuba diving
    We had Marin as our instructor and he was absolutely brilliant. He spoke very good English and made sure we got all the necessary information and understood everything there was to know before going under water. It was our first scuba dive experience. One hour under water went so fast and we had the best time. We got to have fun and explore the underwater world. Marin was very helpful when I had a little problems with my ears in the beginning. Couldn't ask for a better first experience. All the equipment were in a very good condition. I 100% recommend this and you are very lucky if you get Marin as your instructor. 🙏♥️

    A good dive centre with helpful, experienced staff and great local knowledge
    Spent two days with the team from Orca and very happy with the experience. I had 4 dives, departing at 10am and 3pm each day on their small boat, each lasting 40-45 mins, with an experienced dive guide and a divemaster in support. Really friendly and helpful, rented full kit which came to 111 Euros/day with the 2 dives. Kit was all in good order, all the shop staff very experienced and helpful and know the area and waters very well. Would definitely dive with them again. (Level: PADI OWSI)

    Dolphins in sunset
    We picked a great evening with calm waters and an amazing sunset. We got to see everything promised and we had the fish, mackerel, which was tasty.

    Excellent dive center
    I dove for 3 days (6 dives total) in June. The dives and guides were excellent. As a rescue diver about to be master diver, I respected the shop's requirements but in return was given an equal level of autonomy and respect. It was a late-planned trip, so I had to rent all of my gear but that worked out relatively well. If I can, I'll come back to Pula, and Orca, specifically. Thanks for great diving!

    Super Nice Staff
    We went snorkeling and our son went scuba diving. The staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. The only suggestion I have is a sign to tell you where to find the shop. The GPS takes you to a fancy hotel. The bartender was nice and took me through the lobby to show me a building that was across a lawn and told me the dive center was under the building. The view of the sea from the dive center is amazing. A staff member even gave me a good tip where we could find beach chairs free of charge to hang out!

    Great Istrian dive.
    Fantastic family run business. Was able to dive Fraskeric which has a beautiful underwater tunnels with live coral and sea life. Marin was a great host in a local Pula family run business. They were quite accommodating of my 7 feet frame. Would bring cash in the off chance the credit card machine isn’t working.

    Great beginners course!
    Totally recommend it! We were a group of 8 people, all beginners. We were split up in 3 smaller groups, each one with a teacher. First we watched an introductory video, then we got dressed up and went into the water. We went as down as 7 meters, while the teachers, were showing us different fishes, plants, and little tricks under the water. We were under water for around 45 min. Paid 60 euros per person. It was a very nice experience, super worth it! :)

    Horrible experience
    We unfortunately had a bad experience with Orca diving. We booked kayaking and snorkeling for 4 adults and 2 hours. They were very friendly when we arrived and showed us where the kayaks are. But that was about it. No instruction nothing. After we asked the guy for a good place to snorkel he told us where to go best. This was very nice. He helped us getting into the kayaks (two persons each). Two of us are a little heavy weighted but not covering it at all. They got in the same kayak and off we went. After about 30 minutes we had to dock because one of the kayaks was full with water. After we emptied it we continued our way and stopped at a little island to snorkel. 3 of the 4 goggles were broken and ran full of water (just like the kayak lol). After we sat at the island for quite a time we continued our way back and had to stop another time halfway through because the kayak was full with water again! When we docked back at orca diving we told the guy that we had to empty the kayak twice because we were about to sink. He just told us that we might have been to heavy. Why didn’t he tell us that in the first place? Wouldn’t have been a problem at all and we would have switched our teams, even though my google research said that a normal kayak can carry 250-300kg! (We are definitely not that heavy!). Then he also told us that we could have tried to unplug a cap inside the kayak. How should we know this?! They didn’t even tell us how we had to kayak. One of us told the staff that we did not have a good time and that they could have told us all that BEFORE we started. He just said that it is ok but it is definitely not. We will never book with them again.

    Amazing first dive
    Excellent first diving experience for my teenage daughter and me. We felt in very safe hands after instruction video and briefing. Our group were split into bubbles with a guide each. Our lovely guide, Sergei, gave us the confidence to really enjoy this amazing experience. Thankyou, Sergei!

    Great diving with friendly, helpful staff.
    Great location for Scuba diving, right on the beach at Park Plaza Verudela hotel complex where I was staying with the family. Dived 4 times with Orca Diving, each time the staff were friendly and helpful, all oversaw by Olga. One occasion the dive boat wouldn't start, but an alternative dive was sorted straight away, therefore no wasted time. Thanks for the great experience, hope to see you again in Croatia.

    Best Scuba Diving Place and Experience
    My brother and I both did a “try scuba diving” course, and we had a blast! This staff at this place are super friendly and helpful and speak English. My brother and I enjoyed our time there so much, we also decided to pursue our diving certification for up to 12m. Our instructor Sergei was super nice and friendly. He was very patient and helpful with our group, and made the experience so much fun! I truly would recommend everyone to go here, and ask for him as he’s the best instructor I have ever had. This place is awesome! And there is a restaurant above Incase you are hungry.

    Save and happy diving in Pula
    Sergej gave me the confidence to breathe calmly under water and with his great help it was easy to get the Open Water license. The Orca team around Olga and Marin gave us a great time and dives. Definitely recommendable! Ines & Mario

The staff was immediately welcoming to me and my family who were watching me from the shore. I watched a quick instructional video covering the basics which was very informational and gave me everything I needed to know. I was then given equipment and helped rigged up. During this time I was extremely nervous and the staff was quick to calm my nerves and talk me through everything to make me feel more comfortable. I went on the dives and had a blast! Saw a lot of cool things and was walked through everything in the water with ease. They helped me when needed and showed me some cool places in the water. They recommended I do the divers certification course because of how well I did and I am strongly considering coming back for it.

Recommend to anyone wanting to scuba dive in the area!

We both had not done a dive for 5 years,so we took a refresher course before going on the afternoon tunnel dive. Both instructors were super helpful and knowledgeable. Best things seen were a “drum dow” fish (not sure how to spell it), orange starfish, large crab, 4-5 lobsters. Tunnels were fun.

Really good organized center and several nice sights, a bit crowded and not so personal treatment. We would have liked to know the name of the guide and some better debriefings.

The staff were so kind and patient with helping our large group of 11. Everything went smooth and our instructors were amazing! Such a wonderful experience we all had. We all had plenty of time to prepare for descent and plenty of time underwater to explore. It was so eye opening. Thank you guys again!

I have done a lot of activities in my life but diving is by far the most exciting yet dangerous activities of all. A lot of thing could go wrong and I have to admit that I panicked a little bit. But Sergei, the instructor, took his time to make me feel safe and adjust to my diving challenges. I have to say that this is the most wonderful thing I have done so far. I will get my diving license!! Thanks Orca team for an unbelievable experience. They are not perfect and sometime there is chaos when theres a lot of people but they make you feel welcome and at ease about the experience. They try hard to make it fun and if you open your mind to it, it is the most amazing thing. I'm going back to dive with them again in 2 days. Orca is awesome!

Amazing! My partner and I had never dived before this trip and our instructors, Matt and Sergei, made sure we were fully prepared for the dive and worked at our individual paces. They made sure we were completely comfortable with the hand signals and equipment before getting in the water. Even though we dived at the beginning of the season, both our instructors made sure we enjoyed the experience; we still saw plenty of marine life. It was a completely unique, amazing experience and well worth the trip. We would definitely come back. Only wish we had more time and budget to do the Open Water Course! A big thank you to everyone at Orca Diving Centre for making our trip one to remember.
