Plan your bottom time carefully before descending: the 53-metre maximum depth burns through no-decompression limits fast, so deeper exploration should come early in the dive. Boat traffic in the area means a delayed surface marker buoy is essential for a safe ascent.
Located near the small island Grebeni, not far from Dubrovnik.
