This dive site, Euphemia (Figarola), is situated around a smaller island off the coast of Rovinj. The underwater landscape features a rocky reef that gently slopes down in a series of steps, creating an intriguing topography. Divers can explore numerous overhangs, crevices, and holes, which provide shelter and hiding spots for a variety of marine creatures. There is no specific historical account or story provided for this dive site, but its natural formations offer an engaging dive experience.
Beneath the surface, divers and snorkelers will encounter a rich diversity of marine life. The site is known for its large schools of fish that traverse the reef. Among the rocks and in the various hiding spots, one can find lobsters, conger eels, and numerous crabs. For those with a keen eye for macro life, there are nudibranchs and, with a bit of luck, fascinating sea hares to spot.
The maximum depth of 15 meters and an average depth of 7 meters make Euphemia an ideal spot for divers of all levels, especially beginners, and is perfectly suited for snorkeling and freediving. The best time to visit aligns with the warmer months in the Adriatic, offering comfortable water temperatures and good visibility. Its relatively shallow nature and calm conditions make it excellent for underwater photography, particularly for macro subjects.
