Sekirn Steilwand
Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Sekirn Steilwand offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest wall diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Sekirn Steilwand gives you a classic Istrian wall dive, dropping straight down to around 30 metres. It’s a solid intermediate spot, nothing too wild, but there’s enough going on to keep you looking. We’ve often found decent numbers of scorpionfish tucked into the crevices and a few moray eels peeking out from under ledges. Visibility here is typically good, especially outside of the summer rush, making it an enjoyable, relaxed dive for those who appreciate the subtle beauty of the Adriatic.
