Getting here
To reach the Red Island base, take the ferry from Delfin Dock in Rovinj, every hour on the hour. You reach the Villas Rubin base by car. In the main season from April to October we're open daily from 09:00 to 18:00; outside it, dives are possible on request.
Getting to Rovinj
Most guests come by car. From Zagreb to Rovinj takes about 2.5 hours, from Trieste about 1.5 hours.
The nearest airport is Pula, just 38 km from Rovinj. In the low season, the airports of Zagreb, Ljubljana, Trieste, Treviso and Venice are also an option.
By ferry to Red Island
The ferry leaves Delfin Dock in Rovinj every hour on the hour, and the crossing takes about 10 minutes. You can also board at the fountain in the old town. Tickets are sold at the café at Delfin Dock.
Dive cylinders aren't allowed on the ferry. You'll find the timetable on the Maistra and Island Hotel Istra websites.
As a hotel guest you take the hotel's own ferry. It's free for you, and your car stays in the car park on the mainland.
By car to Villas Rubin
The Villas Rubin base is on the mainland in Rovinj. Tell the barrier attendant ‘Tauchcenter’ (dive centre). You then have 15 minutes to unload. After that, park in the car park in front of the entrance.

Flying after diving
Allow at least 24 hours after your last dive before you fly. This also applies if you drive over mountain passes on your way home.
