Alte Badanstalt
Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Alte Badanstalt offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Mini Blue Hole, not to be confused with its famous Gozitan counterpart, offers a pleasant, albeit less dramatic, dive. You'll find it tucked away, a smaller, circular entry point leading into an open-ended cavern. It's a relaxed spot, often good for a second dive or if you're looking to escape choppier surface conditions elsewhere. Inside, we’ve often spotted black gobies clinging to the rocks and plenty of Mediterranean tapeweed swaying in the gentle surge. Keep an eye out for painted combers too; they're usually darting amongst the rock formations. This one suits divers who enjoy a sheltered environment and exploring geological features, rather than chasing big pelagics.
