The south-east side of Fratarski island hides a wonderful dive location suitable for all levels of diving experience. It starts with a slowly descending bottom which quickly opens up to a vertical reef filled with holes and caverns of all sizes. The maximum depth is around 25 meters.

An inevitable diving location on the Istrian peninsula. The dive begins in the northern part of the island. We dive along a sandy slope towards the first tunnel through which we will each pass individually. Afterwards, we soon reach the next tunnel through which we dive in pairs.

We dive along the western side of the peninsula, startiing with the reef on our left shoulder. Some mini-walls indicate the way to the sloping reef with a max. depth of around 24 to 27m.

Although currents are not always strong here, divers go in one direction only – with the current – to ensure easier and more enjoyable diving. This is an interesting site because dives are made along walls and rocks forming 2 – 3 cascades, at a depth of 15 m, 18-20 m, and below 20 m.

This is a beautiful position with a very long and various wall which spreads over 200 meters. During the diving, which as you wish may be on depth to 20 meters or more, we are going around a few underwater capes with no end to holes and cliffs. Each of these is rich in colours and different species.

The former military base near Pula offers an interesting dive on its southern part. We start the dive shallow and follow the ridge to the right. In the middle of the dive, we go through an attractive natural tunnel from a deeper part into a shallow lagoon, surrounded by high rocks.

Starting from the small beach in the bay, the sloping reef gets to a max. depth of around 20 to 22m. Following the reef on your right shoulder starting from the beach you find three steps from 3 to 6, from 6 to 9 and from 9 to 11 meters, which makes it a perfect location for Discovery Dives.

House reef of Bi Village, entrance from the shore, shallow beach dive. After 10 minutes swimming from the shore the max. depth of 10m is reached.

Called “ISTRA“ for years, the true identity of this wreck was only recently established as the steamship “Hans Schmidt.“

This is almost a secret spot, which is only approached by a few diving centres. The beautiful reef resembles an extensive underwater plateau with many terraced gradations.The richly vegetated reef begins 8 meters below the water surface and extends to a depth of over 25 meters.
