Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Vrsar in western Istria, this submerged rocky shoal features stepped limestone ledges bordered by sandy flats and seagrass meadows. Divers descend onto the reef crest before working their way down across cracks, overhangs, and scattered boulders. The varied structure creates ideal microhabitats for benthic Adriatic creatures, while ambient light in the upper sections highlights vibrant sponge and algae coverage.
Stepped rocky plateaus with crevices sheltering octopuses and scorpionfish
Pockets of Posidonia oceanica seagrass harboring juvenile fish and seahorses
Gentle reef structure suitable for navigation practice and relaxed macro hunting
