Over het Centrum
UTRISH DIVE CENTER, established in 2000, is located in the resort town of Bolshoy Utrish, Russia. Situated near the Bolshoy Utrish nature reserve, renowned for its pristine natural beauty and unique underwater landscapes, the center offers an exceptional diving experience. Local legends attribute the peninsula's formation to either an earthquake or a lightning strike from Zeus, with its Adyghe translation meaning 'Great Landslide'.
The center benefits from a prime location opposite the Bolshoy Utrish dolphinarium, attracting divers from all over Russia. The diverse underwater topography, including underwater drops, banks, and shipwrecks, coupled with the rich Black Sea flora and fauna, promises an unforgettable experience. Both shore dives for beginners and deep dives for experienced divers are available.
UTRISH DIVE CENTER is SSI certified and offers Boat Diving courses. Facilities include equipment rental and boat diving. The proximity to the nature reserve allows for diving in any weather conditions, with dive options adapted to wind direction, whether from the lighthouse side or the old pier. Boat trips to Maloy Utrish are also organized for further diving opportunities.
