Sveta Marina is on the East Coast Istria, around the Camping Sveta Marina, Labin, Rabac. Choose a shady Camp-site and visit the Dive Center. Ask Walter for Dive Info. Put on you stuff and for the beginning try the southern wall of the house reef. you need to either walk 250m across the camping and down some stairs or you choose the entrance at the Dive Center. But then you need to paddle a lot. nice house reef, unfriendly german staff.
