Which dive course is right for you?
Open Water Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver or Rescue Diver: how the courses at Squatina Dive Center in Baška build on each other, with requirements and prices.
By the Squatina Diving team
Learning to dive is a path, and each course opens the next door. All our courses can be certified with IAC or PADI (PADI: €130 extra).
Open Water Diver: your first certification
For complete beginners with basic swimming ability, minimum age 10. You start with the basics and your first skills in shallow water, then make real dives in the open sea with your instructor. Minimum 3 days, €480. Open Water Diver course
Advanced Open Water Diver: build experience
For divers with an Open Water Diver certification, minimum age 12. It is about doing rather than sitting in a classroom: several guided adventure dives, deeper dive sites, better navigation and buoyancy. Minimum 3 days, €380. Advanced Open Water Diver course
Rescue Diver: dive with more confidence
Requires Advanced Open Water Diver certification and first-aid training (ask us how to include it). You learn to spot problems early, stay calm and help others, practised in realistic scenarios. 2 days, €380. Rescue Diver course
