Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Red Rocks offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Red Rocks site in Istria offers a straightforward dive to 19m, making it a good choice for newer divers. Expect a rocky reef environment, providing plenty of crevices to peek into. We've often spotted scorpionfish tucked away and smaller schooling fish flitting around the rock formations. It’s a solid option for a relaxed afternoon dive.
