Squatina Diving

Istria Peninsula, Croatia

The team at Squatina Diving are the kind of people you instantly feel comfortable with. They have that rare blend of professional competence and genuine friendliness that makes every dive feel like a reunion with old friends. We love that they’re CMAS focused, which for us signals a real dedication to thorough, thoughtful training, especially for those looking to advance beyond the basics. If you’re serious about improving your technique or considering going pro, this is a solid choice. They operate out of Baška, a bustling spot on Krk Island, perfect for those who like a bit of atmosphere after their dives. Our pick from their offerings would be the boat dives around the island. There are some incredible wall dives here, often starting shallow and dropping to 30 meters or more. Keep an eye out for resident scorpionfish camouflaged against the rocks, and we’ve spotted plenty of inquisitive octopus darting between crevices. Visibility in late summer is usually a comfortable 15-20 meters, though thermoclines can bring a chill, so a 5mm wetsuit is always a good idea. We’d suggest booking their morning boats; the light often plays beautifully on the walls then, highlighting the sponges and anemones.
