Dive-site story
Located just off the coast of Vrsar in western Istria, this shallow inshore dive circles the fringes of the small islet of Koversada. The seabed transitions from rocky shelves and scattered boulders close to shore into dense patches of Mediterranean seagrass mixed with sand. Sheltered geographic positioning makes the site a common choice for novice training, checkout dives, and relaxed macro photography.
Extensive Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows hiding pipefish and seahorses
Network of small limestone cracks and crevices harboring octopus and blennies
Calm, protected waters suitable for relaxed navigation practice and refresher dives
