Best for advanced divers, 8-45m, boat entry, mild current.
Leuchturm is a multi-feature site in the Kvarner Gulf offering a combination of vertical walls, reef sections, and cave systems. The topography extends from 8 to 45 metres, with visibility ranging between 10 and 30 metres. Divers encounter a variety of marine life, including scorpionfish, octopus, nudibranchs, conger eels, forkbeard, and spiny lobster. The wall features dense encrusting growth, including sponges and gorgonians, which increase in density at greater depths. Due to the potential for strong currents and the site depth, this location is suitable for advanced divers only. Access is strictly by boat, and divers should maintain a conservative exit margin due to unpredictable surges.
