Dive-site story
Situated within the Rovinj archipelago off the western coast of Istria, Piruzi offers an accessible dive around a small rocky islet. The topography consists of stepped limestone terraces, small overhangs, and fields of Neptune seagrass that slope down to a sandy seabed. Crevices throughout the rocky reef structure provide dependable shelter for Mediterranean macro life and reef dwellers.
Stepped limestone shelves and shallow overhangs hiding invertebrates
Expansive Posidonia oceanica meadows surrounding the rocky base
Frequent encounters with octopuses and camouflaged scorpionfish along crevices
