The beautiful clear waters around the thousands of islands of this coastal nation offer a myriad of diving opportunities. You can see plenty of marine life on local reefs, dive with dolphins, and find larger fish too. But one of the best aspects of diving in Croatia is the large number of wrecks and "underwater museums" that are found around the islands. From old ship wrecks to more modern WWI and WWII wrecks and planes to some ancient underwater ruins from historic periods, there's plenty to see in addition to marine life. Some of the best spots are around the island of Brac where you'll find dolphins and calm waters. Also, don't miss the underwater museum at Mali Lošinj or the one on the island of Vis. The latter offers sunken B-17 and B-24 bombers from WWII along with various sea caves which reflect the light in dazzling ways. Almost every town along the coast offers dive shops which can take you out to the nearby reefs, islands, and inlets for a terrific experience.
