About the Island
We welcome you to the blue skies and clear blue waters of the Adriatic, which make this a great diving destination.
The Adriatic is one of the cleanest and most beautiful seas in the world. It is pristine, relatively unexplored and unsaturated by divers.
The Dupin Dive Centre is based on the lovely Island of Korcula, which is situated in southern Croatia, so in addition to the crystal clear waters, we enjoy very good warm weather with an average of 3,000 hours of sunshine per year!
