Features

Shortly after entry near the lighthouse, about 3.5 nautical miles west of the island of Zirje, the highlights of the dive site become visible.

A multitude of corals accompany divers along the way through the red and yellow gorgonian forest, even one or two yellow precious corals hide among them.

Especially photographers will find plenty to enjoy at 18 m, but in the south of the island, you can dive even deeper, up to about 45 m.

Down there, the terrain becomes extremely interesting: trenches drop here up to 200 m - an unusual depth for the Croatian Adriatic.

Overall, a very untouched spot and thus a beautiful part of marine life.

But beware, the current can become quite strong here.
