About Insel Faro
Insel Faro is a boat-access reef dive off Rovinj that starts shallow and drops away in terrace-like steps to deeper water. The site can be very challenging and is recommended only for experienced divers. Seasonal boat traffic and extreme currents can limit when diving is feasible, so the site is best outside the high season. Divers may see schools of damselfish, nudibranchs, and occasionally catfish eggs.
