Diving Sites

There are over 116 registered and documented diving sites, including antique sailing vessels and fields of coral growing on sheer undersea walls, caves and warship wrecks, now inhabited by schools of fish. The Croatian coast of the Adriatic Sea is considered the cleanest sea in Europe. Frequent winds include: Bora, a cold northerly wind, Jugo, a south wind with high precipitation, and Maestral, a cool north-westerly wind alleviating summer heat. The Adriatic is teeming with flora and fauna. It is inhabited by numerous species of fish, mammals, molluscs, crabs, urchins, plankton, algae, sponges and other organisms. All these qualities lend themselves to the development of tourism and a fishing industry.
