Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Bumbište offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Bumbište is a relaxed dive, good for new divers getting comfortable in the Adriatic. The site drops gently to 24m, mostly an open seabed with scattered rocks. We often spot small scorpionfish tucked away and the occasional moray eel peeking from a crevice. It’s a straightforward dive, perfect for refining buoyancy or a chilled-out afternoon dip.
