About this center

PADI 5-Star Dive Center in Camping Valkanela between Vrsar and Poreč. Full PADI course range, photography services, and multilingual team.

Adriatic Diving Center is a modern PADI 5-Star Dive Center based in the Valkanela campsite on the Istrian peninsula, located between the resort towns of Vrsar and Poreč. The center offers broad educational possibilities following PADI international diving school standards, from introductory discovery dives through the highest diving ranks and specializations.

The center's location on the western Istrian coast provides access to some of the best diving in the northern Adriatic. Daily boat trips and shore dives take divers to a variety of sites including reefs, walls, caves, and the famous shipwrecks that lie in the surrounding waters. The diverse underwater topography and the clear, warm waters of summer make this an ideal destination for divers of all experience levels.

Adriatric Diving Center caters to an international clientele with a multilingual team speaking English, Polish, German, and Croatian. The center offers photography services for those wanting to capture their underwater memories. Full equipment rental is available, and the PADI course progression covers everything from beginner programs to professional levels.

As a PADI 5-Star center, the operation meets the highest standards of diving education and safety. The campsite location offers additional convenience for diving holidays, with accommodation, restaurants, and beach facilities all within walking distance of the dive base.
