Wurzel
Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Wurzel offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Wurzel is an easygoing dive, topping out at 16 meters, which makes it good for intermediate divers looking for a relaxed exploration. You'll find a series of small rock formations and scattered boulders here. We often spot moray eels tucked into crevices and various smaller reef fish darting between the rocks. It’s a comfortable dive, ideal for those wanting to log some bottom time without a challenging current.
