Discover the secrets of Dubrovnik's underwater world and embark on a treasure hunt

In the vicinity of Dubrovnik, there are several diving locations suitable for divers of different experience levels. One of the popular spots is the island of Lokrum - a nature reserve with underwater caves, cliffs, and abundant marine life that hides a half-submerged tunnel beneath the rocks leading to a small lake inside the island called the Dead Sea. Along the coast of Lokrum lies the wreck of the ship Tomislav, resting at a depth of 35 meters - the perfect place for experienced divers to embark on a treasure-seeking adventure.

The underwater world of the island of Koločep boasts colorful reefs and diverse marine life, while its Cape Bezdan offers dives at shallow depths as well as a descent into an abyss. Here, divers can explore the remains of the shipwreck Aurora, found at depths of just 16 and 19 meters, making it accessible even to first-time divers.

Advanced divers eager for a true adventure can dive and explore the famous Taranto wreck - the remains of an Austro-Hungarian merchant ship from 1899, which the Italian army used as a transport ship during World War II. Taranto now serves as a perfect home to numerous plant and animal marine species.

There are many attractive locations around Dubrovnik, and the Adriatic Sea is home to diverse marine life, including beautiful and colorful fish, octopuses, moray eels, and even the occasional dolphin or sea turtle.
