Klopeinersee Strandbad Süd - Istria Peninsula

Klopeinersee Strandbad Süd, on the Istria Peninsula, isn't going to blow anyone away with vibrant coral, but it's a calm spot that serves a purpose. Dropping to a maximum of 11 meters, it’s an excellent choice for new divers or those refreshing their skills. We often take our Open Water students here for their first few dives, offering a really relaxed environment without any strong currents or tricky navigation. You'll likely see a few freshwater fish darting through the aquatic plants and some interesting bottom topography. It’s perfect for getting comfortable in the water and nailing those basic skills.
