    Sveti Blaz offers a straightforward dive to 25m, suitable for beginners. It’s a gentle spot, usually with minimal current, allowing you to take your time. You’ll find typical Mediterranean reef life here – small groups of damselfish, maybe a scorpionfish tucked into a crevice. It’s a solid choice for a relaxed afternoon dive or a check-out dive.
