    Plavnik Lighthouse offers a straightforward dive. Expect typical Mediterranean rock formations and a decent chance to spot some of the smaller local species, like scorpionfish or blennies in the cracks. It's a relaxed spot, good for a leisurely second dive or if you're looking for something calm. We'd suggest it for divers who appreciate a quiet, less dramatic exploration.
