#1 - Lucice
Croatia, South adriatic
beginner
(0)
This is a really big cave with 2 entrances near 4 m deep. The cave goes down to 25m+. There are stalagtites underwater!
The first opening is 3m in diameter, the second 6m. The cave itself has a diameter of max. 30 m and a depth of 40 m whereby there are two 'cone shaped tunnels' which taper away from the main cave area which extend to 47m. These 'tunnels' have a diameter of approx. 2m max. and are completely out of the range of the sunlight/pitch dark. It is not wise to dive here without the necessary experience.

The bottom of the wreck lies upright on its keel at a depth of 60m. Due to the depth, the wreck is ideal for technical dives, such as Rebreather or Entry-Level-Trimix.

#44 - Lucice Wall
Croatia, South adriatic
intermediate

Nice site, not well known, so there are not so many divers. Equals all other walls I've seen in Croatia. Even more life than usual.
Just opposite to the Lucice Cave. Nice wall with lobsters, crabs, congers etc. Goes down to at least 40m but probably even more if you go further South.
#45 - Cape Kobila
Croatia, South adriatic
beginner
(0)
Nice wall at the southeasternmost tip of Brac Island. Easy to find, easy to dive. Goes down to 60m, but can be dived at every depth (the most interesting part is probably between 20 and 40m). You'll find (few) gorgones and the eventual lobster. There might also be some congers and suchlike. No groupers that you would expect in such a place because they have all been harpooned.
By boat from Bol (good boat time) or Supetar (long boat time). Easy to find, it's the Southeasternmost point of Brac Island.

#53 - Rt Kabal
Croatia, South adriatic
beginner
(0)
At about 5m on the south side of the lighthouse you can find the cave´s entry. The tunnel goes down to about 14m and then straight to the exit. Impossible without strong diving light. Be careful not destroying the cave´s corals!
Going further and deeper on the sandy ground after the exit, you can find a wall with great marine life.
It is an interesting combination of a wall and passage dive. The entrance of the passage lies in only 5 meters directly under the Lighthouse. The exit is on 15 meters where a wall stretches itself into the deep blue till more than 45meter
On the west side of the island Hvar there lies our next dive site rt Kabal.
Rt Kabal is also known as Kabal.

A shallow just off the harbour off Supetar. Several groups of rocks with abundant life. But generally only small since everything that's big gets hunted immediately. Look under stones for scorpion fish, electric rays, lobsters and the eventual conger eel.
