    Rt. Družinin, off the Istria Peninsula, is a good spot for a relaxed dive. The maximum depth is 19 metres, making it ideal for newer divers or anyone looking for a longer bottom time without much current. You'll find the usual Mediterranean suspects here – small reef fish, maybe an octopus tucked away, and often decent visibility. It's not a site for big pelagics, but a pleasant, easy dive for a warm-up or a refresher.
