Maona
Maona is a small 40 m freighter lying at 30–35 m not far from the Sveti Ivan na Pučini lighthouse off Rovinj. In good visibility it is a fairly straightforward wreck dive, and its closeness to the coast makes it a favourite in the summer season. Lobsters and scorpionfish live along the hull and stern, and clouds of small fish gather around the structure.
