About San Giovanni Nord
A north-side wall dive on Sv. Ivan Island with an easy initial drop and a second reef beyond it. The appeal is the dramatic relief, yellow anemones and sponges, and the chance to work the wall for gorgonians and Mediterranean marine life. It suits divers who like a straightforward descent, good buoyancy work, and a scenic boat day from Rovinj rather than a shallow reef cruise.
