Aqualis Dive Center is situated in a charming bay on the island of Hvar, next to Hotel Sirena on the beach, with an exceptionally attractive view of the sea and the Pakleni islands archipelago. The center offers both PADI and SSI certification courses, providing flexibility for divers who may prefer one system over the other.

Discovery dives start from 78 EUR, while trial scuba diving experiences are available from 100 EUR. Full PADI or SSI Scuba Diver courses start from 390 EUR. The center also supports IAHD courses for disabled divers, demonstrating an inclusive approach to underwater education. Certification fees and learning materials range from 80-250 EUR depending on the school and format chosen.

The sheltered bays around Hvar and the Pakleni archipelago offer excellent diving for all levels. Shallow reef systems at 12-18 meters depth host octopus, moray eels, and schools of bream, making these spots ideal for beginners and underwater photographers. Deeper sites feature walls and caverns for more experienced divers.

Online booking and payment are available through the center's website, and direct communication via WhatsApp or Messenger makes it easy to arrange dive trips. The boutique operation offers limited places to ensure personalized attention, with a 30% booking deposit required to secure your spot.
