Diving Center Venus

PADI 5-Star Dive Resort on the Kaštela waterfront near Split since 2002. Digital eLearning, discovery dives from 65 EUR, and stunning bay views.

Diving Center Venus is a PADI 5-Star Dive Resort located right by the sea along the Kaštela waterfront, just a short drive from the historic city of Split. Operating since 2002, the center relocated to its current seaside location in Kaštel Stari in 2018 and earned its PADI 5-Star Resort designation in 2013.

The center offers the complete PADI educational pathway, with digital eLearning options allowing students to complete theoretical portions on their own devices before arriving at the center. Discovery dives for beginners start from 65 EUR, while full Open Water Diver courses with eLearning are available from approximately 450 EUR. The innovative approach to learning materials — accessible via tablet, smartphone, or laptop — gives students flexibility to study at their own pace.

The Split-Kaštela area offers diverse diving experiences including reef dives, wall dives, and wreck exploration. The Adriatic waters here enjoy excellent visibility during the summer months and host a variety of Mediterranean marine life including octopus, moray eels, grouper, and colorful nudibranchs.

The multilingual team provides instruction in English, Croatian, Czech, and Slovak, reflecting the center's popularity with Central European visitors. The waterfront location offers stunning views of the Kaštela Bay and the mountains behind Split, making surface intervals as enjoyable as the dives themselves.
