Best for intermediate divers, 5-15m, shore entry, moderate current.
Kobarid on the Soča River offers a drift dive through a canyon setting, characterised by turquoise freshwater and depths between 5 and 15 metres. Divers experience a moderate current that carries them along the riverbed and canyon walls. Due to the cold water temperatures, which range from 4 to 20 degrees Celsius, a drysuit or thick wetsuit with hood and gloves is recommended. Shore entry requires caution as river flow can create a surf-like break. This site is suited for intermediate divers who possess strong buoyancy control and the ability to navigate moving water. Facilities including parking and toilets are available at the site.
