Lake Bled scuba diving is a guided dive for certified divers who want to see a side of the lake most visitors never notice. You need at least an Open Water certification (PADI, SSI, CMAS 1-star or similar). Groups are small, with a maximum of four divers, so the guide can focus on each person.
Freshwater diving is different from diving in the sea. The water, the plants and the fish are all different, and the fish in Lake Bled are bigger than most people expect. The guide picks the dive site, and past travelers have dived in a few places:
Past travelers mention seeing very large catfish and carp, some over a meter long, and pike on the way back. Many say the guide knows the lake well and gives clear, practical tips during the dive. Divers who usually dive in tropical seas say it feels like a very different kind of dive.

Exclente experience. If you’re searching for something different, then this is for you. Very profesional, helpful and fun.
This was a very fun experience and very different from my usual tropical dives. I came across a lot of big catfish and carps (big, as in more than 1 m in length big). The diver leader Mat was experienced and guided me well. Would definitely recommend.
It was my son’s best birthday ever! The experience of the dive was the best present! The knowledge and skills gained during the course inspire a sense of connection with nature and respect for every living creature! The instructor’s professional and responsible approach inspires confidence! I highly recommend rediscovering our planet underwater with a qualified instructor!
