Diving Center Zlatna Luka

Set in the middle of the Adriatic's most indented stretch of coast, Diving Center Zlatna Luka is a 5-star PADI operation surrounded by roughly ten big islands and hundreds of islets. Above and below the waterline you'll find dramatic rocky cliffs, with underwater walls dropping to depths of more than 60 meters, riddled with caves and rich biodiversity. Two of the Adriatic's finest spots sit among its dive locations: National Park Kornati and Nature Park Telascica.

Courses and who it suits

Whether you're taking your first breath underwater or working toward certification, the center runs a full PADI progression: Discover Scuba Diving from USD 143, the Open Water Referral Part 2/2, the PADI Scuba Diver first-level certification, and the complete Open Water Diver Course. Two instructors and two divemasters look after every diver.

The center is right on the waterfront with a house reef, dive boat, onsite classroom and parking, and staff who speak English, Spanish and Croatian. Beginners and progressing divers keen to explore the walls, caves and marine life of the Kornati region will feel right at home.
