    Dive Cres offers a solid Mediterranean experience, a good choice if you're in the Istria Peninsula and looking to get wet. You'll likely encounter scarlet coral clinging to rock walls and bushy coral swaying gently. Keep an eye out for poor cod hiding in crevices and damsel fish darting amongst the rocks. We've often spotted Leidy's comb jellies drifting past, adding a touch of alien beauty. This site is suitable for most certification levels, a comfortable dive that delivers consistent, if not spectacular, Mediterranean charm.
