Kostrena is a coastal town on the Adriatic near Rijeka in Croatia. With access to the calm Adriatic Sea, it serves mainly as a gateway to nearby dive spots along the Rijeka coastline and inlets. The area offers small, local dive centers and shore-accessible sites suitable for entry-level or brief reef dives, drift conditions can vary with currents. If you’re based here, you’ll likely explore nearby reefs, small wrecks, and sea walls along the coast, and there are freshwater options nearby for training in the region. Note that the town itself is more of a gateway than a major dive hub; divers typically base themselves in larger Rijeka–Omišalj area for a wider range of sites.
