Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Brestova offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Brestova offers a straightforward dive, popular for its accessibility from the Istrian coast. We typically find the reef slopes down to about 38 metres, a gentle descent that makes it suitable for newer divers. Expect to see some of the usual Mediterranean suspects: scorpionfish tucked into crevices and perhaps a moray eel peeking out. It’s a decent spot for a relaxed afternoon dip, especially if you’re looking to get wet without venturing too far.
