Figarola Island (Rovinj)
Figarola is a small islet north of Rovinj and a favourite beginner site thanks to its terraced underwater structure and a maximum depth of around 20 m. Despite the easy profile there is plenty to find: seahorses, eels and lobsters, and with luck an electric ray or a John Dory on the sand.
