Best for intermediate divers, 2-26m, shore entry, mild current.
Trpejca is a freshwater dive site located on the shores of Lake Ohrid, featuring a combination of reef and wall topography. The site ranges in depth from 2 to 26 metres, with an average depth of 18 metres. Divers enter from the shore, encountering mild currents and visibility typically between 5 and 20 metres. The wall section is suited for intermediate divers, while the shallower reef provides a manageable entry. Because this is a freshwater environment, divers accustomed to saltwater should adjust their weighting to account for increased buoyancy. Surface temperatures vary seasonally between 5 and 25°C, while deep water remains consistently around 6°C.

The site has parking, toilets, showers, changing rooms, and a rinse station on site, so you can pack light and take your time between dives. If you normally dive in salt water, dial in your weighting carefully before dropping onto the wall, as the freshwater here will have you noticeably more buoyant than you expect.
The village is located along the road from Ohrid to St. Naum Monastery.
