Popular Dive Sites:
Veli & Mali Cutin
The two small islands of Veli and Mali Ćutin lie off the east coast between Cres and Rab Islands. The beauty and diversity of Cutin is breathtaking for divers and explorers and is considered the most beautiful dive site in the entire Adriatic.
The underwater world is a rich multi-coloured, visually appealing variety of flora and fauna. Most impressive are the bright red gorgonians that appear from 28 m, followed by yellow gorgonians from 38 m. This richness of colour is enhanced by schools of fish, including dentex and tuna heading for the open sea, and numerous holes, terraces and hiding places overgrown with soft corals and sponges. On the gorgonians there is the possibility of seeing cat shark eggs.
The gorge, covered with colourful sponges, is the best place where you can find many different kinds of nudibranchs. The wall and its holes are the best place for conger, scorpionfish, octopus and lobster. With a bit of luck, you may also be accompanied by a group of dolphins on the way to the dive site.
Minimum certification: Open Water Diver
Depth: 8m to 45m

Lun
Lun is a dive site at the beginning of the island of Pag. This dive site has a fantastic colourful wall covered with gorgonians. As usual, our dive starts in a shallow area where we anchor. You will go to the crest of the wall and start your dive with the wall To your left shoulder (of course you have to check the current first). The wall starts at a top of 18 m and is up to 40 m deep at the bottom of the cliff.
On the wall you can see all the different species we have in our sea, from conger, octopus, scorpion fish, all kinds of nudibranchs, to schools of fish like damselfish, wrasse, bream and with a bit of luck, tuna! If you want to take a wide-angle picture, this is the best place. With the colourful gorgonians, the blue of the sea and the sun, your picture will be unforgettably beautiful.

This dive site has a beautiful tunnel that starts at the depth of 15m, goes straight through the rock and comes out at a depth of 9m. There is also a beautiful wall, on the northern side, that goes down to 40 m. The wall is full of sponges, white corals, anemones, various schools of fish, octopus, conger and nudibranchs. On the way back to the boat, the shallow area is full of scorpion fish, nudibranchs, mullet, various species of sea bream, salemas and writing perch.
The inside of the tunnel is a great place to discover different species of nudibranchs that live in our sea.

Premuda - Cathedral
The Cathedral dive site is along the coast of island Premuda.

Diving at Cathedral is possible throughout the year, but the optimal conditions are experienced from May to September. During this period, divers can expect the best visibility and a warm water temperature.
The diversity of marine life at Cathedral is a delight for divers of all levels. For advanced divers, there is a tunnel ranging from 16 meters to 38 meters in depth, offering an exhilarating exploration opportunity.
On the plateau areas of the site, divers can encounter fascinating marine creatures such as octopi, crabs, and vibrant rainbow wrasses. The sandy seabed is teeming with life, including mullets, white two-banded sheepshead breams, and a variety of other species. The caves themselves are adorned with a rich array of corals, sponges, and polychaetas, creating a visually captivating underwater landscape.
