Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - PLAVNIK - II wall offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest wall diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Plavnik - II wall in Istria is a solid pick for a relaxed afternoon dive, especially if you're just getting comfortable with wall diving. It drops down to a gentle 26 meters, which keeps things calm and accessible for beginners. You’ll find sponges clinging to the rock face, with little blennies darting in and out, and nudibranchs grazing along the shallower sections. We often spot small schools of damselfish flitting about. It's not a site that screams for attention, but it's reliably pleasant and a good spot to practice buoyancy.
