Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Saline offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Saline, an easy dive in Istria, bottoms out at 18m. It’s mostly a sandy bottom, broken up by seagrass and some scattered rocks. We’ve seen cuttlefish here, often hovering just above the sand, and small groups of damselfish flitting through the seagrass beds. It’s a gentle spot, good for those just getting comfortable in the water.
