    Kap Selzine offers a straightforward dive, well-suited for newer divers or those looking for an easy afternoon. The site features a gentle slope, mostly rock and some patchy coral, where you'll likely spot small groups of poor cod and damsel fish. Look closer for species like Leidy's Comb Jelly and the subtle colours of Scarlet and Bushy Coral. It’s a pleasant, undemanding dive in the Istrian waters.
