Soft corals

Due to their shape and colour, white and red soft corals (gorgonians) are decorating the depths. You can see them in all of our diving spots, but their domiciles are on the walls and reefs, in other words everywhere where the sea is pure and the presence of current is ensured. They grow from 25 mt and deeper.

Caves

Due to the structure of the soil, the caves are rich of loopholes, and this is the main reason for the existence of so many smaller and bigger underwater caves. Among the big ones, we advice those on the islands Garmenjak and Borovnik, which are exciting considering the amount of light coming thru the water surface and the underwater flora and fauna. Diving in these caves is for all diving categories, while the other ones are asking for an advanced certification.
