Best for intermediate divers, 5-30m, boat entry.
Medvidina spilja is a cave and cavern site located off Vis Island, accessible only by boat. The site features a varied topography that transitions from shallow sections at 5 metres to deeper areas reaching 30 metres. Divers should be prepared for an overhead environment where ambient light decreases significantly, necessitating the use of primary and backup torches. Visibility typically ranges between 10 and 30 metres, though it can fluctuate within the cave system. Water temperatures vary between 14 and 20 degrees Celsius. Due to the depth and overhead nature of the site, intermediate skill levels and careful buoyancy control are required.
