Dive-site story
Positioned around the outermost rocky islet of the Rovinj archipelago, marked by its historic nineteenth-century lighthouse, this offshore site features steep limestone drops, large detached boulders, and shadowy recesses. The exposed seaward side falls away into open water, attracting schooling fish and supporting dense encrusting life on the deeper vertical walls.
Steep rocky drop-offs covered in yellow cluster anemones and colorful sponges
Sheltered crevices harboring large European conger eels and scorpionfish
Exposed offshore location that frequently draws schools of two-banded seabream
