First diving
Wow, what an experience. Without any previous experience with diving, we went to try this. Olga and Nevena were great and polite and set us up with necessary paperwork and equipment. Marin, our instructor (my daughter calls him GOAT), was incredible, thoroughly explaining all the required details and being patient while we were going through every stage of the process. I had issues with my mask due to mustaches and had difficulty with amount of air, which he checked, explaining what to adjust, what to try differently, and even after small panic and thinking about giving up, he calmed me down and set me up to continue. Once I was ready, we had an incredible dive. Marin was going slow so we could experience everything, feeding fish, holding sea urchins, sea stars, and old Roman parts of amphora. After that, we simply had to go for a second dive. Unfortunately, Marin was not available, so the other instructor was not as patient but rather bit pushy. I had a similar problem with my mask, and he didn't have patience and calmness to resolve the issue, so instead of having a family dive, I returned to the boat. My kids continued, but much less things were shown and fewer photos taken. He was a good instructor for more experienced divers, not for beginners. Anyway, the whole Orca centre deserves a best review. Hope to see you guys again.

Solo scuba diving experience - amazing!
After waiting for many years to experience scuba diving, I took the course with Orca. I don't fear the heights, but for going under water I had to have great trust into my instructor. So, few years ago my long time friend and business owner Olga together with her team of great instructors took me into my life adventure! It was absolutely amazing and so rewarding! Although I am not regular scuba diver, I can't wait to dive again and see the world from the perspective that is for sure life changing. Thanks to everyone and have another great season. See you soon! 💙
Response from the operator: Thank you, the pleasure was mine. Hope to see you soon.

Amazing expierence leaded by amazing instructor
It was such a nice experience! As the course was for beginners, we did not know what to expect. Our instructor was so helpful and explained everything we needed to know and what to do. When we went scuba diving she showed us many things in the water and checked if everything was okay with us. would really recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the nice review! It was pleasure to dive with you!

Scuba Diving for Beginners in Pula: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pula.
How much does Scuba Diving for Beginners in Pula cost?
+
Prices start at $103 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pula usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Scuba Diving for Beginners in Pula take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pula is not rushed.
Is Scuba Diving for Beginners in Pula worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pula, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Scuba Diving for Beginners in Pula?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Scuba Diving for Beginners in Pula suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Scuba Diving for Beginners in Pula?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pula can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pula and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Scuba Diving for Beginners in Pula start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pula within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Pula?
+
On Outty we rank every Pula experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Medulin-Kamenjak 5h boat trip ALL-INCLUSIVE drinks on Sandra Boat, Dolphin Watching & Sunset Boat Tour With Drinks & optional Dinner, Medulin: All-Inclusive Pirate Boat Tour to Kamenjak Cave & Levan. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Pula?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Pula?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
