Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - S Nicola Reef offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest reef diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
S Nicola Reef, off Istria, offers a straightforward dive with typical Mediterranean reef inhabitants. We’ve seen good populations of damselfish and small wrasse here, tucked among the rocks and the occasional patch of soft coral. It’s a solid choice for a relaxing afternoon dive, particularly if you’re newer to diving or just want an easy cruise with decent visibility.
