Trstenik - Split & Central Dalmatia
Trstenik offers a straightforward dive along the Split coastline. We found the gentle slope provides an easy going experience, good for getting back in the water or for less experienced divers. You’ll spot the usual Mediterranean suspects here: small schooling fish, a few scorpionfish tucked into crevices, and some nudibranchs if you look closely. It's a convenient city dive, best combined with other activities in Split.
