Vodnjak - Vis & Biševo
Vodnjak is best known for the 'Green Cave,' a large cavern that opens up, letting sunlight filter in through a crevice, creating an emerald glow. Inside, you’ll find schools of small fish darting through the light beams. It’s a relatively shallow dive, making it a good spot for newer divers or those who prefer to spend more time exploring the cavern's unique light show. The surrounding reef offers some typical Mediterranean macro life if you look closely.
