This dive site, Camp Ujca, is the house bay of Galathea Dive Center, located in Croatia. It is a nice shallow bay, making it ideal for introductory scuba experiences (Try Scuba), Open Water Diver courses (both confined and open water sessions), easy night diving, and navigation courses. Access is very easy directly from the shore. The bay itself is straightforward to navigate, characterized by its gentle slopes and contained environment, without any complex underwater features or known historical elements.
While the overall wildlife in Camp Ujca is described as not overly rich, the Eastern side of the bay offers a better chance to encounter marine life. Divers can expect to see various sea stars, sea cucumbers, and sea bunnies, alongside small fishes. Octopuses are also occasionally sighted in the area, adding a touch of excitement for keen observers.
The best time to visit Camp Ujca aligns with the general diving season in Croatia, typically from spring through autumn when sea temperatures are more comfortable. The primary highlight of this site is its suitability for diver training and skill development, offering a safe and controlled environment for beginners, night diving, and navigation practice. For freedivers and snorkelers, the shallow depths and calm conditions make it an accessible and enjoyable location to explore the coastal marine life.
