Dive-site story
Situated along the western coast of Istria near Vrsar, this island dive features a rocky seabed that steps down into mixed sand and posidonia seagrass beds. Divers explore fractured limestone ledges, small overhangs, and scattered boulders that provide shelter for classic Northern Adriatic fauna. The protected inner shallows offer comfortable navigation before dropping into deeper channels off the seaward edge.
Network of rocky cracks and low overhangs concealing crustaceans and bottom-dwelling predators
Expansive posidonia meadows supporting juvenile fish and camouflaged invertebrates
Gentle topography well-suited for relaxed exploratory dives and navigation training
