Dive-site story
Situated along the exposed southern coast of Šolta Island, Stračinska features a dramatic vertical drop-off that plunges into the deep blue Adriatic. The rocky limestone wall is carved with cracks, ledges, and small overhangs that shelter classic Mediterranean wildlife. Divers typically drift along the face of the cliff while examining colorful encrusting sponges and sea fans before ascending over the shallower rocky plateau for their safety stop.
