Garma - Dubrovnik & South Coast
Garma is a solid shore dive, popular with local dive centres for training and easy afternoon excursions. You'll find a gentle slope into the blue, with the usual Mediterranean suspects – small schools of damselfish, wrasse darting amongst the rocks, and the occasional octopus tucked into a crevice. It's a relaxed spot, good for those looking to dust off the fins or get comfortable in the water without any big demands. If you're after big pelagics, you'll need to look elsewhere, but for a simple, pleasant dive, Garma fits the bill.
