Sea Mates XR Diving Cres

Sea Mates XR Diving Cres is a specialized SSI XR Center located on the island of Cres in the Kvarner Bay — the largest island in the Adriatic Sea. Run by Ivan and Denise, this small but highly professional operation limits capacity to a maximum of 10 divers at a time, ensuring personalized attention and safe, quality diving experiences.

As an SSI XR Center, Sea Mates specializes in extended range and technical diving, including sidemount configurations. The center offers SSI instructor training courses and caters to divers seeking to develop advanced technical skills. Trimix fills are available for qualified technical divers, making this one of the few centers in the Kvarner region offering full technical diving support.

The underwater world of Cres island is dramatically beautiful, with steep walls dropping into the deep blue, hidden caves and caverns, and an abundance of marine life nurtured by the nutrient-rich currents of the Kvarner Bay. The island's rugged coastline and limited tourism development have preserved the underwater environment in excellent condition.

Ivan speaks Croatian and Italian while Denise covers German and English, giving the center full multilingual capability. During winter months, the center operates on weekends only with advance booking required. The intimate setting and technical focus make Sea Mates an ideal destination for serious divers seeking challenging dive sites and expert instruction.
