Valovine 1

At Dive Champ, we offer an exciting diving experience along the beautiful coastal waters of Croatia. One of our popular dive sites is located near the Wake park Pula, specifically Valovine 1, which is easily accessible just a short 5-minute boat ride away from Stoja.

As we anchor our boat, divers will be immersed in a stunning underwater world, descending gradually to a depth of 18 - 20 meters. The visibility here is excellent, reaching up to 14 meters, allowing divers to fully appreciate the underwater landscape.

The sandy sea bottom is teeming with marine life, including beautiful Mediterranean chromis, salemas, and saddled seabreams. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of Conger eels, Scorpion fish, various breams, and octopuses. This dive site is particularly renowned for its population of enchanting sea horses.

Valovine 1 is suitable for divers of all skill levels, making it an excellent choice for beginners. As we explore the reef, divers can marvel at the intricate cracks and little caves along the wall, which serve as hiding spots for lobsters, conger eels, and nudibranchs.

During the dive, we will reach a maximum depth of approximately 17 meters, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. After 25 minutes or when one of our divers reaches a tank pressure of 110 bar, we will slowly make our way back, taking the opportunity to explore the shallower areas of the reef. Along our journey, keep your eyes peeled as we may spot seahorses.

Join us at Dive Champ for an unforgettable diving adventure in the pristine waters of Croatia.
