Purple Bay - Split & Central Dalmatia

Purple Bay, just off the coast in Central Dalmatia, offers a straightforward dive. You’ll find a rocky slope descending gently, with scattered sponges and small gorgonians clinging to the rock face. It’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive or for divers getting reacquainted with their gear, typically without strong currents. Keep an eye out for blennies darting between the rocks and small groupers in the crevices.
