Red Island base
The Red Island base is on the hotel island of Sveti Andrija off Rovinj, about 10 minutes by ferry from the old town. The house reef, at 0–20 m, starts right in front of the base and suits all certification levels. We're open from April to October, daily from 09:00 to 18:00.

The base is on Sveti Andrija, Red Island. It's quiet here, away from mass tourism. The 4-star Island Hotel Istra is about 100 m away.
The house reef starts right in front of the base, and you reach it via a pebble beach. Small rays rest in the sand during the day, and lots of seahorses live in the sponges.
The boat jetty is a minute's walk away, and trips to Istria's dive sites are usually short. There are lots of wrecks in the area, above all the Baron Gautsch.
