Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Medveja offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest reef diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Medveja offers a straightforward shore dive, easy to access just off the beach. It’s primarily a sandy bottom leading to some scattered rocks and small patches of seagrass, a good spot for spotting blennies, small gobies, and maybe a flatfish trying to blend in. We think it’s best for new divers getting comfortable with their buoyancy or those looking for a relaxed afternoon dip, perhaps with a camera to practice macro shots of the smaller stuff. Don't expect dramatic walls or schooling pelagics here, but it’s a pleasant, calm entry point.
