DESCRIPTION OF THE DIVE

This is one of most exposed locations in entire Adriatic, so we go here only when prefect weather conditions. This is a reef with two shallow parts which look as camelback. We start dive down anchor line and almost immediately come over nice drop-off where you can se admiral 500kg anchors. We follow the cliff on the right and come under overhanging cliff where on the bottom you can see a wreck from 1WW. Steam ship which hit the shallow and slowly broke and sunk. Just after the wreck we come over two coloured gorgonia fans which are rarely seen as they live usually much deeper. As we come back to shallow there are cracks and holes where you will find lot of sea life. There is a special stone where are at one time up to 30 nudi brands.
