About diving Pag
As opposed to diving Krk and diving Rab, island Pag coves are suitable and safe for diving Croatia style, specially in shallower and central parts of the cove. There are no strong currents or big temperature oscialtions. Novalia Pag diving is not recommended at the exit from Pag cove, because the currants are stronger and there is no cover for Pag Novalja divers in case of an Krk Pag storm. Inspection of the bottom is a unique experience for every Zrce Pag diver, because the island Pag underwater scenery is very interesting. In the Novalja island under sea there are many inents, holes, even small caves interesting to Krk Pag undersea photography fans.
On the western part of the Zrce Pag cove a Novalia Pag diver can find a number of different shells, picking of whick is forbidden. Diving Novalja is also interesting in the under sea of Caska, because on certain parts, in the mud, a Pag Novalja diver can spot some details of the sunken town. Experienced Krk Pag divers are recommended to try diving Dalmatia in the cove Slana, as the under sea is very attractive, interesting and filled with peculiarities, picturesque rocks covered with high sea grass, small caves, and one bigger and very beautiful cave where you chouldn't enter unless escorted by an experinced Novalja diver. In the Novalja island Pag cove, the fishing with the underwater gun and air tanks is not allowed.
