Description:
Croatia has become a very popular place for scuba diving. Since 1893 spongers have been harvesting the waters and the first scuba diving course was offered in 1943 on Vis Island. The first recreational diving clubs were formed in the 1950’s in Pula and Split. During the 1990’s dive clubs were established everywhere. With all this increased activity there are now over 130 dive clubs and 150 dive centres in Croatia. Live-aboard diving is also becoming increasingly popular. Due to the rocky coast, shore diving is rare. Most dives are from boats.
