Y-40 The Deep Joy
Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Y-40 The Deep Joy offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Y-40 The Deep Joy in the Istria Peninsula is an interesting spot for those looking to get some depth training or practice skills in a controlled environment. It’s essentially a very deep pool, so you won’t find any fish or coral here. What you *will* find is consistent visibility and a reliable depth of 25m, making it ideal for beginner divers getting comfortable with pressure changes or for advanced divers working on their trim and buoyancy in a distraction-free setting. We've used it ourselves for gear testing, and it’s surprisingly handy for dialing in new regulators without the added stress of ocean conditions. Think of it as a comfortable training ground rather than a scenic dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
