Sveta Marina Walls
Below the pebble beach on the Sveta Marina peninsula near Labin, three reefs drop straight from the shore into open water down to about 55 m. The southern reef is easier, from about 12 m, while the northern wall is considered the better dive; a small statue of the Virgin Mary sits at around 13 m on the south wall and nudibranchs are common on the north side. Shore access means diving is possible even when boats cannot leave port.
