The crew were super friendly, funny and professional about the whole diving trip, which consisted of two dives with several groups of divers on different levels (snorkel to beyond padi... read more advanced diving). It was my first dive in a foreign country and we went as...More

  It was pretty awesome, we really enjoyed our dives and the course ! I can send only recommend diving with Venus diving ! No complications, very good material and stuff... read more ! Thanks a lot 😉

  We were in Kastela in September, and my son (19) wanted to try diving. The weather was a bit unsettled, for the few days my son was here, with rain... read more and thunderstorms, but Ivica organised everything perfect. My son was soo happy with his first dive (first experience is so important), so he wants to do more next time he is here in Croatia.
Here what my son said"I went diving with Ivica who was extremely friendly and explained what we would be doing and what the purpose of each equipment piece was. He clearly knew what he was talking about which made me feel confident and less scared. As this was my first lesson we went to shallow water (max 10 meters) and he always made sure that I was feeling okay underwater. The boat we used to take us to the island was new and pretty fast which was great. Once there he gave me enough time to get used to breathing with the equipment and to learn how to achieve neutral buoyancy. All the equipment we used looked quite new and unused and worked flawlessly. We even got to see a really pretty jellyfish which was quite cool. Overall, the experience was outstanding and Ivica is a great instructor. I would highly recommend this centre for any newcomers who are willing to try out diving for the first time."
So overall experience is : Ivica, the instructor, is very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable.
The equipment is new, or almost new, very well looked after, in perfect working condition. The boat as well.
Highly recommended for new divers, and as its PADI certified, for more experienced divers as well.

  Whilst reading previous reviews, I came across your argument "In our country,we have strict rules and we follow Padi standards and procedures." That is DEFINITELY not true!

I... read more turned up and they just started giving me stuff to gear up and get ready.
They asked me 'what level are you? How many dives have you done?' But at no point did anyone check my certification or care about there being any validity in what I said. The dive centre in Dubrovnik I did some diving with the following week were much stricter about checking my card!

FAR worse, they didnt ever ask me to fill in the official PADI medical form. I just turned up, did some diving and left. They have no real record of me diving or any of my details at all!!!

Thankfully it was all okay, but I have to answer yes to one of the medical questions so I have to get my doctor to sign a copy of the form before I go away to say that my condition doesnt affect my suitability to dive. It is a lifelong condition with daily medication and Venus had no idea!

Again, in Dubrovnik, the centre took a photocopy of the form my doctor signed before allowing me to dive. This has always been the case everywhere I've been diving. I was shocked and appalled that neither my certification OR my medical details were checked.

Absolutely disgraceful safety standards.

  Can't say enough good things about this diving centre. I recently completed my night diving course with them in the middle of November. They not only ensured I was completely... read more warm but that I had a fantastic and safe diving experience. We got to see...More

  The diving experience was excellent. The instructor try to explain the basic teory in easy way, so somebody who doesn't speak english could also understand it, which was really heplfull... read more because of my dad.
Under water we again recapitulated the teory and because we have many beginers in the group the instructor try to explain them how to don't panic or how to stay right under the water, which as I can say was really profesional.
In the end I just to say, that we (me and dad) really enjoyed this diving and we're looking forward to try it again next time.
