I can totally recommend Kristjan and Piran Divers if you want to have hassle-free and fun dives in Piran and the surrounding areas!
First of all, it was easy, fast and reliable communication before our trip started. Especially during the insecure and vague phase of Corona, he replied fast and answered questions we had before. During our stay, he was always there to have a chat and prepare us for the upcoming dives; the equipment we hired was reliable, the boat trips were fun - Not to forget his experience as Instructor and Dive Master, of course, which is absolute high quality level! Plus, we stayed at his Hostel Piran with Ivana, our super nice and fun host. It was, thus, easy to organize our dive trips while we were there.
I'd give 6 stars if I could. ;-) Thanks for the good times and vibes!

My daughter (17 yrs old) just did her Advanced Open Water certification with Kris, and my husband also did some dives with him. It was a great experience for both of them, and we would highly recommend Piran Divers. Kris explained everything very clearly and was a great teacher for my daughter. He obviously takes safety very seriously. From a logistical/communication standpoint, Kris is very responsive, which made scheduling the course and the dives very easy. If you want to dive in Piran, definitely choose Piran Divers.

My friends and I went on a dive for the first time. Our instructor explained in details the procedure and what to expect. We felt very safe thorough the dive. It was a great experience and we would definitely recommend Piran divers for first timers.

It was easy to book a dive via Mail before our holiday in Piran.
The team was really nice and everybody did a great job before and while the dive, so we felt very save and comfortable.
We also could recommend a boat ride to the dive site ;)

We did the "Discovering Scuba Diving". Kris was a really nice guy who explained everything really well. The prices were very moderate (60 euro for the discovery dive. If you want to go with the boat a little bit more but thats up to you). You can book easily over WhatsApp.
The dive was really great, me and my girlfriend fell in love with diving and decided that we will take an OWD course back at home. That should say it all ;)

Absolutely amazing guides Luca and Kris. Explained very clearly. Safety is a real thing for the team. I was supported while putting on the suit. Although it was the biggest women suit, I hardly fit to it because of overweight. Luca helped to put it on. Then on the jumping to the water moment I felt a short panic. Kris found the right words, didn't push me and gave enough time to accept the situation. All difficulties on underwater breathing and moments when I felt unsafe underwater were nicely handled. For me all might have been go wrong. However experience is perfect , only because of extremely high quality of the service, attitude, caringness, respectfulness. Kris and Luca are true professionals. Recommend to try scuba diving with Piran divers.

Me and my daughters (13 and 15) did two dives with Piran Divers (plus a night dive for me). I'm quite experienced and dove many places around the world and I must say these guys are doing great job. Of course Slovenian reef is not Great Bareer Reef, but is well worth diving. All three dives were interesting, but the night one was best. If I'm in Slovenia again I'd dive with Piran Divers again.

I completed deep diving and navigation speciality courses with Piran Divers. The service, the team and the courses were awesome. My instructor Gregor explained the theory part passionately and precisely. He kept encouraging me throughout the excises. The dive sites were excellent for practising navigation and deep diving. There is no doubt, If I return to Piran I will dive with Gregor and his team.

Amazing scuba diving experience as a first-timer. Instructions are precise and straight to the point, the staff is fun and has a sense of humour, also very available and commited. I was a bit anxious once under water but these guys know how to make you feel at ease. I was in very good hands all the way. Fair prices.

What a great dive with Kris from Fiesa beach! The visibility was poor for some of the dive, but Kris guided us well and with patience (I have only just qualified, and my friend hadn't dived since her open water 15 years ago). Would definitely recommend Piran Divers for anyone in the area wanted to get underwater!

Hi,
I would like to ask what are the possibilities for beginners. I've never dived. I am planning to visit Piran for several hours in July and would love to experience some diving activities. Is there a chance to see sthe underwater world without passing a two or three-day course?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
If you do not want to do 3-4 days Open water course we have a program called Discover scuba diving - DSD.
How a DSD differs from a 'recreational dive' is that you are always under the direct care and supervision of a professional who will stay close to you throughout the dive. You are not expected to learn any diving skills other than a few basic ones to get you started. Its a safe and fun way to discover diving.
The DSD experience usually takes between 2-3 hrs. You will begin with a briefing to explain some key points and what to expect during the dive. We begin the dive in water shallow enough to stand up in so that you can slowly become comfortable and practice a few important skills. Once you are comfortable we then go out for a dive and explore the reef.
You do not need any experience or equipment other than a swimming costume and towel and a desire to see what life is like underwater.
The depth of the dive ranges from 4-12m, what is most important is that you feel good and have an enjoyable time.
Regards,
Kris
