Issa dive center

Kornati Islands, Croatia

The team at Issa Dive Centre really stands out for their deep knowledge of the Kornati’s more challenging sites. They're definitely our top pick if you're looking to push your boundaries a bit, especially with technical diving or exploring some of the lesser-dived historical wrecks. We’d suggest them for anyone with a few dives under their belt already, eager to advance their skills or just seeking a more adventurous side of Croatian diving. Issa is a proper diver's dive centre, not just a splash-and-dash operation. Their technical diving expertise, covering everything from Trimix to instructor certifications, is genuinely impressive. We've spent time on their boats and the briefings are thorough, focused on safety but also brimming with historical anecdotes about the wrecks. Diving with them, you quickly pick up on their respect for the sea and the history beneath it. If you’re into exploring deeper wrecks, like the Vassilios T or the World War II torpedo boat, they’re the ones to go with. Expect strong currents on some of those deeper dives, especially around the outer islands, so good buoyancy is a must. We always feel well-prepared and looked after with Issa, even when descending into the silty dark of an old cargo hold.
