About this dive site

This dive site, located on an island just off the coast of Rovinj, is famous for its dramatic underwater topography. Divers can explore vertical walls dropping to 30 meters, narrow canyons, and small caves teeming with life. It is particularly rewarding for photographers due to the excellent visibility and abundance of macro subjects like nudibranchs and scorpionfish.
