Dive-site story
Situated along the rugged southern shoreline of Čiovo Island, this site takes its name from reddish limestone cliffs plunging directly into the Adriatic. Below the surface, the vertical wall features fractured crevices, small overhangs, and swim-throughs before meeting a sloped seabed scattered with boulders. Ambient light penetrates well along the upper wall, illuminating encrusting sponges and small cavern entrances.
