Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Timos Caves offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest cave diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Timos Caves offers a gentle introduction to cavern diving for those exploring Istria. It’s not a deep dive, staying around 20 meters, which makes it very comfortable for beginners or divers wanting a relaxed profile. You'll find yourself gliding through wide, open sections, with sunlight still spilling in from the entrances, creating some nice plays of light on the rock formations. Keep an eye out for small nudibranchs clinging to the walls and schooling juvenile fish darting around. It’s a good choice for a second dive of the day or if you're keen to try a cavern without anything too dramatic.
