Sheltered Brijuni wall dive with pinnacles and fish.
Peneda is a protected Brijuni wall dive that starts on a shallow plateau and steps down into a gentle wall with pinnacles around the route. The dive has a calm, sheltered feel and a steady rhythm that rewards divers who like a relaxed profile with structure to inspect. Expect walls, tunnels, and deeper habitats with sponges and algae, plus plenty of fish activity in the park water. It suits patient divers who want a scenic, low-drama outing with enough terrain variation to stay interesting.

Scuba Diving
A wall dive starting shallow and extending down to about 30 m, with pinnacles along the route.
Freediving
A reasonable option for experienced freedivers on calm days because the profile starts shallow and stays protected, but park access still runs through certified centers.
Snorkeling
The shallow plateau can work for strong snorkellers on calm days, but the wall and tunnels make it a better freedive or scuba outing.
