Project details
Ready to put on your wetsuit and jump into Marine Conservation volunteering in Croatia? International Volunteer HQ’s Marine Conservation project allows volunteers to gain scuba diving experience and certifications while protecting underwater sea and river life on the sparkling Mediterranean coast. Volunteers will be placed with local dive schools that undertake a range of conservation activities to help keep the ocean environment clean and reduce marine pollution.
What to expect and how you'll make an impact
When you envision the Croatian coast, you probably picture sparkling clear Mediterranean waters, vibrant beaches filled with swimmers, and an abundance of sea life. While this picturesque scene is often a reality, it takes the dedication and hard work of marine conservationists to keep these waters clean and reduce sea pollution.
As a Marine Conservation volunteer, you’ll dive into an exhilarating mission to restore and maintain the natural state of the marine ecosystem around the Dalmatian region and the wider Adriatic Sea. Partnering with a local diving school, you’ll earn an internationally recognized SSI (Scuba Schools International) diving certification. Once certified, you’ll use your scuba skills to make a tangible impact through sea and river clean-ups.
Imagine yourself:
- Diving for a Cause: Plunge into the crystal-clear waters to collect trash, then weigh and sort it for recycling or return it to fishermen.
- Raising Awareness:- Learn about pollution issues and spread consciousness about protecting our precious marine environment.
- Exploring Marine Life: Gain in-depth knowledge of the marine ecosystem and discover ways to safeguard it.
- Shoreline Hero: Participate in shoreline and beach clean-ups, ensuring these areas remain pristine for everyone to enjoy.
- River Adventures: Walk along riverbanks to collect trash by foot, or take small boat trips to retrieve debris from the river and canyon using hooks and bags.
- Collaborative Efforts: Combine sea and river trash in sorting areas, working together to maximize environmental impact.
Your efforts will help achieve the ultimate goal of pristine natural ecosystems, healthier seas, thriving wildlife, and a cleaner coastline.
If you have any existing dive certifications, please note this in your application and send a copy along with your diving logbook to the local team in Croatia before your program start date.
All volunteers are also required to provide a medical certificate clearing them for diving.

What recent volunteers said about their IVHQ experience
This program is safe, guided and above all you’ll grow as a person by doing your volunteer work and befriending new people. Some friendships could even exceed your trip!
I feel that I gained an immense amount of knowledge and experience about different cultures and also scuba diving. I would 100% recommend this program to others and it is an amazing opportunity to immerse yourself in another culture while also making an impact by volunteering!
It was an amazing trip and I would do it again in a heartbeat! Met the coolest like-minded people, gained more experience diving, and helped the environment! I had really bad anxiety going into it as it was my first solo trip ever, but everybody I met was so friendly and welcoming, it took no time at all to feel like it was home away from home.
I loved volunteering at the diving centre, it was one of the best experiences of my life! 10/10 recommend the program. The whole crew are so helpful and kind. I wouldn’t want to have done anything else with my summer! I got my diving certification there, learned so much and felt so safe and prepared when diving.
I had an unforgettable experience! I was able to meet so many different people from all over the world while also learning more about the Croatian culture. The boat and all the crew were simply amazing, they make you feel part of the family. I strongly recommend this program for anyone who is interested in the sea, helping the planet and making new friends and memories.

Your Program Fee covers the cost of the required online and in-person training, full scuba equipment hire and volunteer supervision from an experienced dive instructor. The specific certification you complete will depend on your diving experience and the length of your stay. Courses range from Scuba Diver through to Open Water Diver, and can include specialty courses such as Marine Ecology and Fish Identification. These are suitable for complete beginners to experienced divers.

Location
IVHQ’s Marine Conservation project in Croatia is based in Omiš. It’s the first larger town you arrive to as you travel south along the coast from Split, where our other Croatia volutneer projects are based, and is located at the mouth of the Cetina River where it meets the Adriatic Sea. Only 25km away from Split, it’s a quick and easy journey down and a very popular destination to visit when in Croatia.
Arrival and orientation
The Croatia volunteer program begins on the first and third Monday of every month, and you need to arrive in Split on the Sunday before your chosen start date.
After you have registered for the program, please book your flights to arrive at Split International Airport (SPU).Your airport pick-up is included in your Program Fee, however, if you arrive outside of Sunday between 9:00AM - 10:00PM, your pick-up will incur an extra cost of US$100.
When you arrive, you will be greeted at the airport by a member of the local team and taken to the volunteer accommodation, approximately 40 minutes away. Your accommodation is covered by your Program Fee and includes the night before your program orientation.
If you are traveling in Croatia prior to your volunteer program, we can arrange for you to be picked up from a meeting point in Split on the Sunday before your program start date. You are also free to make your own way to the volunteer accommodation.
On Monday, orientation is hosted by our local team in Croatia and runs for a full day. Orientation covers everything you need to know for your volunteer program in Croatia – an introduction to Croatia, Croatian customs, rules and expectations, safety, travel opportunities in Croatia, and an introduction to your project and placement. The orientation will also give you a chance to meet other volunteers and swap contact details for weekend travel and socializing.
Volunteer schedule example
Weekdays:
A volunteer day is subject to change depending on your specific project and placement. A typical daily schedule might be as follows:
8:00 - 10:00 AM | Breakfast is served at the restaurant next door to volunteer accommodation. |
9:00 AM | Volunteers with a morning shift travel to placement to join local placement staff and begin work on your project. |
12:00 - 2:30 PM | Lunch is served at the restaurant next door to volunteer accommodation. |
2:30 PM | Volunteers with an afternoon or evening shift travel to placement to join local placement staff and begin work on their project. |
7:30 - 9.00 PM | Dinner at the restaurant next door to volunteer accommodation. After dinner you will have the remainder of the evening free to relax and use as you wish. |
Weekends:
Volunteers have the weekends free and Split and Croatia are full of interesting things to do, see, visit, eat and learn.
Croatia has a wondrous history and culture, paired with beautiful coastline and nature. You can spend a weekend traveling across the country - visit the popular Klis fortress that is only a short drive from Split, or spend the day in nature surrounded by waterfalls in Krka National Park or Plitvice National Park. If you are looking for an adventurous activity, try rafting down the river in Dalmatian hinterlands, or sea-kayaking the beautiful see-through Adriatic Sea. There is so much to see and explore, and nothing is far away in Croatia!
Volunteers can make travel arrangements further afield once in Croatia, with the advice and guidance of our local staff.
Accommodation and WiFi
Experience the charm of Omis while making a meaningful impact on our Marine Conservation project. Our centrally located hostel serves as a warm and inviting home, just a 10-minute walk from both your volunteer placement and the restaurant where delicious meals are provided. This hostel offers the perfect blend of convenience and comfort.

For those desiring more privacy, private rooms can be arranged at an additional cost. Please contact us or your Program Manager for more details and pricing. Please note that all accommodation upgrades are subject to availability.
Meals
Volunteers can savor nutritious meals every day, just a short 10-minute walk from your accommodation at a local restaurant.
Enjoy a vibrant breakfast featuring smoothies, breakfast tortillas, omelets, eggs, cereals, fresh breads, spreads, ham, aromatic coffee, and refreshing juice.
To keep you energized during your volunteer activities, we provide a delicious packed lunch, prepared each morning.
In the evening, return to the same restaurant where you began your day and indulge in a satisfying dinner. Choose from a variety of options, including meat, fish, or vegetarian dishes.
