    Metlikova is a straightforward shore dive, easy to access and suitable for newer divers. The reef slopes down to 28 meters, with a mix of small rocky outcrops and sand. You'll find the usual Mediterranean suspects here: scorpionfish tucked into crevices, small schools of bream, and the occasional octopus. It’s a reliable spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you’re keen on shore entries.
