Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Gobbo Reef offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest reef diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Gobbo Reef is a pleasant little spot off the Istrian coast, great for shaking off the rust or introducing newer divers to the Adriatic. At a consistent 12 meters, it's a relaxed dive, mostly exploring the scattered rock formations and small canyons. We've often seen schools of damselfish flitting through the crevices and small octopuses tucked away in the shadows if you look closely. It's a solid choice for a second dive of the day, or when conditions elsewhere are a bit choppy.
