I would thoroughly recommend these guys if you want to try diving for the first time, or if you’re experienced and just want to see what the local dive sites have to offer. My partner & I needed a refresher course and ended up needing more guidance than we expected but Steve & Jan were really patient with us and unbeknown to me were also in on an underwater proposal plan my now finance had cooked up! They have a great location in the little bay by the Port 9 resort and the try dive area is literally a few feet away straight off the shore so it’s perfect if you tend to get seasick (like me) as you don’t need to spend time on a boat if you don’t want to. We went out to a cool ship wreck on their boat and Steve was great with the storytelling, shout out to Tim as-well who was helping out guiding the dives so we both had someone watching out for each of us. Very reasonable prices and will definitely be going back next year!

Brilliant well organised dive with Ricky and Steve. We felt very safe under current Covid-19 restrictions. Steve told us the stories of the wreck and Ricky led the dive around the amazing 100m wreck, throughout Ricky also took pictures which will forever remind us of a brilliant day out.

Jan, Steve and Amber were wonderful throughout the entire dive trip. These were my first dives since gaining my certification and they made me feel extremely comfortable and also helped to continue my education in diving. My wife had not been diving in a few years and Steve was able to help her feel comfortable and ready to dive again with his expertise and helpful tips.
Our shipwreck dive at Boca was absolutely incredible. Not only did Steve tell us the history of the wreck but gave an incredible underwater tour of the wreck as well. We saw beautiful soft coral, colorful fish, fire worms, nudibrach and other beautiful sea life that had made the wreck their home. I felt safe and comfortable during my dive and would absolutely recommend Dupin Dive to anyone looking to dive in Korcula. Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about this company. Both my wife and I cannot wait to come back and do another dive trip with them.

Our son has joined a fun dive 1 on 1 with the instructor. Great experience and outstanding teaching skills paired with British humor convinced him that this will become a lifetime sport for him. Thanks a lot for this experience. Highly recommended

Completed 8 dives with Steve and Jan in October in a very quiet Korcula and can highly recommend. I have dived in 14 countries over the years and can say my experience in Croatia was one of the highlights. Not the biggest dive centre but certainly one of the friendliest I have used and it felt more like club diving especially when for most dives I was the only paying client, a situation I can really get used to!
The dive sites are quite varied and with plenty of small,marine life and if you like colourfull walls and interesting wrecks then you won't be disappointed.
If you have a deep dive qualification then there are several great dives for you to enjoy but equally if you are limited to shallower depths then there is plenty to occupy you as well.
Dives are all made from a RIB and most dives sites are within a range of 45 mins max travel time.
Again many thanks Steve and Jan it was a pleasure to meet and dive with you and I hope I can make it out to Korcula again in the not too distant future.

I spent a week with Steeve, Jan, Ricky and Marina in Dupin Dive center for a croatia diving experience. They are very nice people, and very welcoming for anybody. As a experienced diver I had my own équipement but Jane offer me good advices to take care of it. I have seen equipements for renting was pretty new and good.
Dives are very safe, and briefing is good.
You will enjoy with clear water, good dives sites with rock, cavern and Mediterranean fishes.
You should not leave the center without go to the wreck (also by night) it is really a gorgious dive.
You can also ask Steve, the captain during the boat trip and he will give you goods adress and other hisoricals stories of the place. He s got also à British humour.
Thank you a lot, friends

Cannot recommend Dupin Dive enough! My boyfriend and I did a try dive whilst on holiday in Korcula and it was fantastic. Great people running the centre and dives. It was our first time so naturally a little nervous, but they made us feel at ease. Professional in terms of the health and safety aspects of the dive, but otherwise it was a relaxed and fun atmosphere. We enjoyed it so much, we are both planning to learn to dive properly. Thanks for having us!!

Wonderful hospitality of the Dupin Dive Center in Korčula by the owners Steve & Jan and the crew Claire, Matt & Charlotte who welcomed us in and treated us like family. We enjoyed the friendly banter while on onshore, but the diving activities were very safe and professional. They cater new divers as well as experienced ones. Highly recommend diving here and will definitely return.

The Team at Dupin Dive were superb. Friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful. A big shout out to Jan. She was very professional and caring, helping me out during a refresher dive.
My two teenagers and I had two open water dives the next day. Again the team were great, experienced and professional.
Both dives were very good. Visibility excellent. The first was a reef dive down to 18m. The second was a wreck dive (Bokka) down to 11m. The Bokka wreck dive was great, lots to see of the boat itself and its new inhabitants.

Hi. I would like to know if somebody who has never dived before can take part in diving at your centre? I am planning my holidays next May and I was wondering if not to try diving. I am over 40 and without any serious health problems.

Hello Alina,
We offer Try dives for people that do not hold a diving qualification. This is one on one with an instructor of the beach in front of the centre. Maximum depth of 5-6 metres.

Just wondering if there is an age restriction for scuba diving. I have 3 boys aged 14, 15 and 17. Could they all scuba dive? Karen
Written April 28, 2018
Hi Karen. There is an age restriction of 12 years, so all three of your boys can enjoy the wonderful experience of being underwater. We can offer a try-dive which for all three would take a complete morning, or the full course which would take 5 complete days. Please email us if you have need for further information.
