      Brilliant experience
      The day started at 9am where we were warmly welcomed and met with the instructors, we completed the necessary paperwork in about 5 minutes and was kitted out with wet-suits and fins to fit our sizes. We quickly moved down to the dock to board the boat. There was myself and my wife along with a gentleman from Slovenia who was an experienced diver and a lady from Germany who like us was a complete beginner. We had bought food and drink with us as it was going to be a long day returning around 4pm. The boat is pretty big and could easily have accommodated a further 4 or 5 divers, the sea was calm and it is so clear as to be almost unbelievable. The journey to the first dive site took about 35-40 minutes, and to be honest just spending this time cruising across the bay towards Krk island, fantastic weather, amazing scenery, crystal clear blue water and a Dolphin jumping out of the water about 20 yards from the boat, was worth the money on its own. On arrival at the first dive site the instructors daughter (Mia who is about 15 and is also a fully qualified diver) moored the boat to an anchor line and the diving could begin. The rookies all took to the water for snorkelling whilst the instructor and the experienced diver went off for about 45 minutes. I would highly recommend the snorkelling beforehand as it will help you to regulate your breathing and get used to the sensation of breathing underwater. long slow deep breaths are an absolute necessity for a dive and this will certainly help. The water is incredibly clear even when you are on top looking down and there is plenty of fish and other seafaring animals to keep you interested. Once the instructor arrived back on the boat it was our turn to go for a dive. Now unlike many dive schools this is a personal one on one experience with your instructor, this isn't 30 people in a pool with one instructor, this is you and an extremely experienced and skilled diver in open water. Dive City certainly want you to get the most out of the experience and they want to make "Divers", this is not a money making sausage machine.They do it because they love it and they want you to feel the excitement they do. This passion is very evident as you get your final briefing before entering the water, factual, humorous and engaging, but serious enough as you are about to enter an alien world and you need to do the right things at the right time. Before going on the dive Dive City will send you a link to the SSI (Scuba Schools International) app and ask you to download the material and take the "Try Scuba" test. Both myself and my wife did this before the day and it certainly enhanced our understanding of what we were doing the next day and our understanding of the instructions we were given. So after the briefing we kitted up with a weight belt, buoyancy vest, fins and the all important tank and regulators (there are two just in case one fails... Belt and braces! Safety first!). I decided to go first (Male bravado I would imagine) and was shown the correct entry method into the water, once in I was amazed at how buoyant I was considering I had a Tank, wet-suit, 50kg weight belt, but this is the point, it is as close to being and astronaut in outer space floating effortlessly. So breathing through the regulator is easy and the air is pure and very dry. All felt very natural at this point. So this is where the personal instructor experience really comes in, he at no stage left my side whilst we were in the water, he swam just above me and slightly behind controlling the buoyancy vest to control depth. Starting with effectively snorkelling so as to get used to the experience of breathing underwater. After about 2 minutes of acclimatisation it was time to dive. So at this point the instructor swam below me and showed me by hand signals that we were going to dive. Now you have to use pressure equalisation techniques so that your inner ear doesn't suffer any damage and they are at pains to point this out in the briefing, so make sure you pay attention to this (Just swallowing, flexing your Jaw, or pinching your nose through the mask and blowing will get it done so not rocket science but important that you know what to do). So we started our descent and I used all of the techniques above and was able to work out what worked for me (Swallowing was best for me). The instructor at all times was controlling the buoyancy vest so as to ensure I was not rising or falling too quickly. And boy what a journey, now the water is incredibly clear when you are on the surface, but I couldn't believe how clear it was when I got under the water. We swam for about 200m away from the boat, the instructor guiding from above, you can't see him when you are swimming along so it feels like you are on a dive on your own and it doesn't feel like you are being nursemaided. At one stage on the way out I was joined by a shoal of about 200 fish, all going about there own business and I was just in the middle of them, truly magical experience, floating in mid air (sic). After about 15 minutes underwater we returned to the boat and my first dive was over! At no stage was there any pressure to do more than I was comfortable with and they were just so professional, making me feel at ease with this very new experience. After all the rookies had had their turn we then moved on to the second dive site were the instructor took the experienced diver off for another 45 minute dive. This allowed us another opportunity to Snorkel but in another place which had even more marine life to see. After the return of the instructor we boarded the boat for a 20 minute ride back to the dock, back to the offices to change, debrief and say our goodbyes to the great people at Dive City. Both myself and my wife had a marvellous day with true professionals who want you to enjoy the experience, but also want to keep the tuition very personal and practical. If you are going to dive in Croatia then without hesitation I recommend that you do it with Dive City Crikvenica. I will be going back to Croatia soon and will definitely sign up for one of the more advanced courses. Just a brilliant experience.

      An amazing scuba experience!
      This was such a pleasant trip. The girls and guys are all really friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Happy to help, and great fun to hang out with :) The dive sites were nice, plenty of sea life. I'm a novice diver, and the dive master really made sure I got the best out of each dive :) Thank you for an amazing day, I can't wait to come back again!

    The islet of Kosljun is located on the island of Krk. On this small island there is a Franciscan monastery and an ethnographic museum.
    In addition to a numismatic collection of old Roman coins and banknotes from all over the world, you can also see old costumes of the islanders and a large collection of shells.

    On the booking page it said the trip lasts 3h. Instead it’s 7h! Might be OK if you know ahead of the trip. Take some food and warm(er) clothes. 2nd bikini/swimsuit for women is recommended. There is a diving class on the same boat, which needs the longer time. The snorkeling spots were not better nor worse than snorkeling at the beach.
    We wouldn’t book it again for snorkeling.
    We didn’t dive but overheard the diving instructions. In my opinion the diving instructors were very good, with clear, slow, comprehensive English instructions. Might try this if you’re interested.

    Dear mmmX, Thank you for your review. If you read the booking page; ˝What to expect˝, it says: ˝We meet at the dive center at 09h30 in the morning and will return at +/- 14:00 - 17:00 (depending on the number of people and dive location), so you should bring some food and drinks with you˝. Also we told you before you booked the trip, that on this day it would be a longer trip and we let all our customers know the approximate duration of the trip that they book. We are sure that most people will disagree with you that it is no better than snorkeling from the beach, because the water is much more clear at the island spots we go to and you have a greater chance of seeing different fish and sea creatures. The beaches are generally full of people which frightens the sea creatures away. Maybe next time you should try a scuba dive with us.))

    Since it was not only a snorkel tour, but also a dive tour, we made two very long stops in 5 hours. The focus was on the divers. Unfortunately it was also very, very tight on the boat due to the diving utensils or I could only sit in front of an oxygen cylinder.
    I have done several bathing or snorkeling tours before, but the stops were very unspectacular for snorkeling.
    Of course, the clear beautiful water also compensated you.
    I wouldn't do this tour again.

    Went for a snorkeling tour, but in the end it was more like a boat trip. We were told that we would go to 2 snorkeling locations, but in the end we only went to 1. Also the equipment we rente was broken. When we paid the guy in office 'accidentaly' made us pay 100kn too much, but luckily we noticed (also see other reviews(Facebook). When we kindly told we weren't satisfied and we wanted to find a solution, the staff denied everything and did not want to help us. We spoke to other people on the boat, who were also unhappy. Better spend your money somewhere else if you want to go snorkeling.

    Dear Wessel, First of all, this is a lie, we did go to 2 places, as our boat records and all the other people can confirm! We went to ˝Sveti Marak˝ and ˝Šilo˝ The snorkeling trip has standard duration of 3 hours but you had a full day trip, so you had much more than your money's worth.. We told you that we would go to 2 dive sites, where you could also snorkel and swim. We did go to 2 places!, and just because you didn't swim or snorkel at the second place is not our fault, and you had a full day trip. The Snorkeling equipment (Mask, snorkel and fins) was all fully functional, only the small clip on the snorkel is broken as you can see on your photograph. If you noticed that the clip was broken on the snorkel, why didn't you ask for another one, instead of taking the time to take photos of it for some purpose? We have many snorkels on board and would have gladly given you another one. If you look at most of our reviews on Facebook and other sites, you will see we have very high ratings and we are very proud to say that most people are very satisfied with our services, but off course there are always some people that nobody can satisfy or have other motives for complaining or trying to get a refund for the slightest possible thing.

    We (2 parents, 2 children aged 10 and 12) thought the trip was good and would do it again. We went to 2 spots and saw huge schools of fish in the clear turquoise water, which was very impressive. It was a relaxed atmosphere and there was plenty of time to snorkel and take a break on the boat and go back into the water at any time. The divers with their equipment and their dives were the main focus, but that was okay.

    This was the best fun trip of our holiday!

    We travelled with the boat for 30 minutes to the first place and watched the scuba divers diving into the water and then we jumped in.
    It was beautiful! The water was brilliantly clear and we saw lots of small fish, small yellow corals, sea cumbers and an even an orange sea star. After the scuba divers returned, we travelled to another spot and swam there also for about 1 hour. The trip was organised perfectly and everything was explained to us clearly before we left.
    The boat is in good shape with a toilet on board and a shade canopy over the deck, but you can also sit in front of the cabin in the sun also.
    We didn't have our own snorkeling equipment so we rented it from the dive center. Before we left, we were able to try on the fins for size and checked that the equipment was in good condition. The crew offered you to keep our food and drinks cold in the refrigerator which was much appreciated because it was so hot!

    We can only say that it was a wonderful experience and thank you to the team and crew at Dive City, we will be back!

    This is not a regular snorkeling trip! Having skilled divers onboard was inspiring and opened up interesting conversations how to improve snorkeling techniques. A great experience for my family! The crew took us out to two great snorkeling and diving spots with plenty of time to snorkel around reefs in clear water. It’s a well worth full day activity with sun, relaxation and snorkeling as much you want. Bring drinks and food! Recommend it to get away from crowded beaches!

    It was fun to do. Too bad we only stayed at the beautiful snorkel spot for a short time.
    The additional costs of snorkeling supplies are nowhere to be found in the information text!
    Rented equipment was not optimal ( 2 leaking masks and a broken snorkel). The captain was kind enough to borrow another snorkel.

    Dear Marjole, Thank you for your review, we are glad you and your family had fun. On our Trip-advisor page it clearly shows that rental equipment is not included, but unfortunately there is no option to list rental prices for various items. Usually people contact us to ask for the price of rental equipment which you pay directly here. Our rental masks are high quality ˝Cressi-sub˝ silicone diving masks with tempered glass, also suitable for scuba diving. As I explained to you the reason that the masks leaked is because you pulled the straps over your head too tight. Also when I handed out the snorkeling equipment to you, I asked you to all please check that the fins fit you and check that nothing is broken and everything is ok. I am sorry that you only found out later that your snorkel was broken, but as you said the Captain replaced your faulty snorkel with no problem. We always have reserve equipment on the boat exactly for this reason.

    This was so worth the money! We went to two wonderfully beautiful snorkel spots where it was full of fish and beautiful coral! The crew was very helpful, knowledgeable and advised where we snorkelers could swim to get the most out of the experience. If I go to Crikvenica again, I will do it again.

    The trip takes far too long, there are hardly any fish as the two spots are right next to each other so it's a real disappointment, we always had to wait 45 minutes for the divers, I wouldn't recommend it, we give it a very well-intentioned 2/10

    Dear Simla Gülüm, Thank you for your review. We feel it' very unfair we told you in advance exactly how long the trip would be, so you didn't need to book it. You were only in the water for 5 minutes and the rest of the time you spent sitting on the boat looking at your mobile phones. During the 45 minutes that divers are diving at these beautiful reefs, you should be snorkeling. If you spent more time in the water, you would see a lot more. The 2 places are 2 nautical miles apart and most of our best reefs are in this area. We are sorry that you didn't enjoy the trip.
