Under the sea (part 2)
Yes, we truly fell in love with scuba diving this summer.
We set on a serious diving expedition this weekend. The weather forecast was good, our flat seemed safe enough, we got all the gear together. I even managed to get up at 5:55 am, so off we went.
First stop Beli on island Cres.
After some serious web research I decided to give the diving base in Beli a try. The road to Beli itself was a true adventure. Wide enough for only one vehicle at a time it has regular meeting points where you can safely let an oncoming vehicle pass by. Luckily there isn't a lot of traffic on it.
Beli is better known for the project of repopulation of eurasian griffon. But as written before, our goal was only the diving base. We made three dives altogether, two from the shore and one by boat. Just off Beli's shore there is a cliff that goes all the way to 40 metres underwater. The cliff is as full of life as you can imagine. Enough for at least two great dives. The third dive of the day was done by boat. We went to see an underwater tunnel that starts on 3 metres and goes down to 15 metres. Schools of fish were all around. Pure magic.
We spent the night in Krk and went to Silo the next day. We've been to Silo's diving centre once before. It is much larger and better organised than the one in Beli, but we did most of the diving in Beli alone (there were two other divers on our first dive there, the rest we did all alone) and somehow we didn't feel the same being on boat with 8 other divers. The location they took us to was nice enough, but with divers all around it just lost the charm of exploring. Slightly disappointed and still tired from the previous day we decided to call it a day (well a weekend) and get home.
Again I highly recommend the diving center in Beli, more info to be found on their website.
Sorry, but we didn't take our camera with us this time. No pics, sorry.
