Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Galijola offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Galijola offers a straightforward dive off the Istrian coast, generally calm enough for newer divers. The seafloor here is a mix of rock and sand, dotted with small gorgonian fans and sponges. You’ll spot crabs tucked into crevices and various Mediterranean reef fish like damselfish and wrasse moving through the seagrass. It's a pleasant dive if you’re looking for something relaxed, maybe as a second dive of the day.
