Sveta Marina Wall

No reviews yetCroatia, North adriatic, Kvarner

Two big walls belong to the house reef. South reef, easier, from 12 to 50 m deep. North wall, better, from 18 to 50m deep. mostly good vis. look for holy maria at 13m on south wall, or for nudis at the northern wall. forget the seahorse. no chance to see it. 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.
