Best for advanced divers, 28-40m, boat entry, mild current.
Vertical Limit is a wall and drop-off site located off Lastovo, Croatia. The topography features a vertical wall descending from 28 to 40 metres, with an average depth of 30 metres. The site includes a cave and swim-through sections, creating an overhead environment that requires careful gas management and buoyancy control. Visibility typically ranges from 15 to 30 metres, allowing for clear views of the wall structure. Due to the depth and potential for nitrogen narcosis, this site is suitable only for advanced divers. Water temperatures fluctuate between 14 and 19 degrees Celsius, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. Access is by boat only, and divers should be prepared for mild currents and potential surge.

Plan your bottom time conservatively before descent as the wall makes it genuinely easy to drift deeper than intended without noticing. Confirm current and swell conditions with your boat operator on the day, as surge can complicate cave entry and exit.
Boat access is required, with the boat positioned directly above the wall's shallowest section.
