Boat-access island reef with canyons and easy training depths.
Sturago is a Rovinj island reef with a sandy plateau and canyon-like rock structure that feels more like a maze than a simple drop-off. It works best as a shallow boat dive or snorkel-friendly trip, with the most interesting relief coming from the rocks, crevices, and small-life pockets rather than a deep wall. Low-season windows are cleaner when you want less boat traffic and a calmer setup.
