Underwater historical park dive in Mali Lošinj Cikat Bay
Underwater historical park dive in Mali Lošinj Cikat Bay
The park is run through the Čikat Bay dive centre, and Discovery Dive access is instructor-led.
Mali Lošinj Cikat Bay is a sheltered bay dive built around the Lošinj underwater historical park, where a short marked route turns a simple shore entry into a small museum-like dive. It suits beginners and relaxed fun dives because the trail is shallow, structured, and easy to follow with a guide, while the broader bay still gives you enough room for a slower look at the exhibits. The site is more about steady navigation, clear planning, and the park trail than about depth or current.

Access Restrictions
Licensed divers can visit the park; non-divers need the instructor-led Discovery Dive program.
Legal Notes
Discovery Dive access is controlled through the dive centre, and visitors should follow the park rules and instructor guidance.
