With all respect to the pandemic we hopefully can say goodbye to that this coming year. Of course we keep taken care regarding your health and safety during diving and PADI courses for this coming season.

Regarding pre-cautions for our divers, course students, dive center and our staff;

• Our equipment is disinfected before and after diving by yourself. As such, you can be sure the equipment is cleaned regularly and to a high standard of safety. As always, we will supply the disinfectant and wash facilities.
• During your dive holiday, you - and only you - will use the same set of equipment throughout. While you are not using the equipment, it will be stored in a numbered box, again only used by you.
• As ever, any and all possible precautions will be taken to maximize diver safety but without loosing the fun part of diving.
• The number of students per class will be restricted. Since dive theory is completed online and in advance, classroom sessions are not necessary.
• Dive briefings will be conducted on the dive centrex grounds, outdoors, as always, in fresh air by the sea. Not only does it allow for greater for social distancing, it’s more fun.

Your holiday to Vela Luka and the trip from your home country to Croatia

• Vela Luka, translated as ‘Big Bay’, is exactly that: a very wide horse-shoe bay at the west end of the island. It is never as busy or as crowded as the main and bigger towns in Croatia. Vela Luka, once a sleepy fishing village, is picturesque, tranquil, and free.
• The beach is big enough for all to find space.
• The cafes, bars, and restaurants are plentiful, spacious, and rarely too busy even in the height of summer season.
• When walking to town and / or the supermarket, the roads allow for ample social distance,
• The dive centrex, covering 180 sqm inside and about twice that much outside, allows more than enough room for social distancing.
• The apartment owners are taking safety precautions with regards hygiene, and of course you can bring your own anti-bacterial fluid, soap, and / or spray if you prefer.
• The journey to Croatia is easy to do by car.
• All borders will promote and enforce safety.
• Fuel stations will have rules and advice that promote safety. However, we suggest you use gloves when touching surfaces, and using disinfectant and / or thoroughly washing your hands with soap and water before stepping back into the car to continue your trip.
