Dive-site story
Positioned off the isolated islet of Sveti Andrija in the Elaphiti archipelago, this dive centers on the precipitous drop-offs beneath the historic lighthouse. The underwater terrain transitions rapidly from a shallow rocky plateau to a sheer vertical wall that plunges into deep Adriatic waters. Pockets of shaded overhangs and fissures shelter cryptic species, while deep sections feature sea fan forests.
