Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Uvala Ziva offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Uvala Ziva is a straightforward shore dive, well-suited for newer divers or those looking for an easy entry. The shallow bay gradually slopes, offering plenty of time to explore the seagrass beds and rocky outcrops. We've often spotted small octopus here, along with scorpionfish tucked into the crevices. It’s a relaxed dive, good for an afternoon session when you’re not chasing big pelagics.
