Shore-entry wall dive with holes, crags, soft coral, and easy access.
Bumbište is a shore-entry wall dive in Banjole with a long, varied reef line, underwater capes, holes, and cliff-like formations. The site starts shallow enough for an easy approach from the coast, then drops into a more dramatic wall that rewards careful buoyancy and a relaxed pace. Sponges, bryozoans, cnidarians, soft corals, and schools of reef fish make it a colourful all-round Istrian dive.
