Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Medova Buža offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest cave diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
We always enjoy a good cave dive, and Medova Buža is a solid pick if you’re exploring Istria. It’s not a deep dive, but the real draw is pushing into the cave itself. The sunlight streams in at the entrance, catching the particulate matter and making it feel a bit magical. Keep an eye out for cowfish tucked into the crevices – they’re surprisingly common here. It’s a comfortable dive for those with some cave experience, but probably not one for your very first overhead environment.
