Our passion project: the catsharks
Since 2020 we've been protecting and rebuilding the catshark population on Red Island. Together with Aquarium Pula we place eggs in the bay.
- Dive torch
- With it you can see the embryo inside the egg.
- Embryo
- Sometimes it moves.
- 6–12 months
- That's how long it takes to develop.
Frequently asked questions
All questionsHow do I get to your bases?
You drive to the Villas Rubin base. Say ‘dive centre’ at the barrier; you then have 15 minutes to unload, after which you park in front of the entrance. The passenger ferry to Red Island leaves from Delfin Dock or from the fountain in the old town. Tickets are sold at the café at Delfin Dock. Dive cylinders aren't allowed on the ferry.
What do I need for a try dive?
Just swimwear and a towel. We provide all the equipment.
How do you ensure safety?
Oxygen and a first aid kit come on every trip. Our team is trained in first aid. On deep dives an emergency deco cylinder hangs in the water. All boats carry current lines.
What do I need to bring for diving?
Bring a current dive medical or a completed Medical Statement. You'll also need your certification card and your logbook.
How does check-in work?
You fill in the registration form, we show you around the base, then it's into the water. If you have fewer than 50 logged dives or haven't dived for more than a year, your first dive is a check dive with a guide. For safety reasons we decide which dives we put you on, regardless of your logbook.
