About this tour
A small-group introductory scuba dive in Brela, Croatia lasting around 2 hours. Unlike typical try-dive operations that rush groups through 30-minute sessions on crowded boats, you'll descend with just one other diver and your instructor, spending a minimum of 45 minutes underwater at the house reef just 5 metres from the dive centre. The private format is designed to keep first-timers calm and prioritise safety, and you'll receive photos and videos within two days.

What to expect
You'll meet the instructor at the dive centre on the beach and receive your custom start time beforehand. After a briefing and equipment check, you and one other diver enter the water immediately from the shore at the house reef — no waiting on an overcrowded boat. You'll spend at least 45 minutes exploring underwater with your instructor, who manages the pace and keeps the experience low-stress for first-timers.
After surfacing and decompressing, you're done. Within two days, the dive centre sends you a Google Drive link with all the photos and video footage from your session. The whole experience runs around 2 hours from arrival to departure.
