Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Kricin offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Kricin offers a straightforward dive, well-suited for less experienced divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon in the water. We usually find schools of damselfish flitting around the rock formations. The site generally has calm conditions, making it an easy entry and a pleasant, shallow profile to explore. It’s not a site for big pelagics, but a reliable spot for a comfortable dive.
