Žali Potok/Šekoda - Vis & Biševo
Žali Potok, or Šekoda, off Vis, is a gentle wall dive reaching 29 metres. It's a straightforward spot, good for those new to Croatian diving or anyone looking for a relaxed afternoon. We’ve found plenty of small stuff tucked into the crevices, nudibranchs if you look closely, and the light plays nicely off the rock formations. It’s an easy entry and exit, making it a comfortable beginner’s dive.
