Mala Dragica is a structurally diverse dive site in the Kvarner Gulf, featuring a combination of a cave system, a sheer wall, and a pinnacle. The topography descends from 8 metres down to 35 metres, with visibility ranging between 15 and 30 metres. This site is accessible by boat and is intended for advanced divers due to the overhead cave environment and depth. Divers should maintain buoyancy control and carry a torch for the cave sections. Water temperatures fluctuate significantly throughout the year, ranging from 12°C in winter to 25°C in summer, necessitating appropriate thermal protection.

Water temperature can drop to 12°C at depth during winter, so a drysuit or a thick wetsuit of at least 7mm is worth considering even in late autumn. The cave sections require a dive torch regardless of season, as ambient light drops off sharply inside.
