Diving in Croatia is one of the best in Europe with famous diving spots such as the Kornati and Mljet National Parks and famous dives such as Modra Spilja, the Blue Cave, even if you are not even allowed to swim there anymore. Croatia is a great destination for scuba divers who love wreck diving and eagle rays. A little less known, you can also give a try at diving in Hvar and Vis islands.
The marine life in Croatia is mostly about eagle rays, octopus, scorpionfish, spiny lobsters and nudibranchs. It’s the right place to go for experienced divers mainly. Due to the water temperatures, regarding scuba gear, it is most common to scuba dive there in a 7 mm wetsuit. The best time of the year is often from July to September. The best dive sites can be reached by boat.
