Dive sites with More Sub D.o.o.

Osejava Makarska Reef is a dynamic coastal site featuring rocky terraces, small caves, and overhangs. The terrain transitions from shallow rocky reefs with Posidonia oceanica meadows to steep walls and vertical drops at depths exceeding 25 metres.

B 24 Liberator Wreck is a significant WWII US Air Force bomber resting at 40 to 45 metres. The fuselage and engines remain well-preserved, making it a rare site for historical wreck enthusiasts in the Adriatic.

JNA PBR-516 Minesweeper is a 40-metre vessel resting at 20 to 28 metres. The interior cabins can be explored, though the site requires a guide due to the potential for siltation and the need for artificial light.

Marine life around Makarska

The reefs and walls are characterised by a rich variety of fixed life, including gorgonians, yellow corals, and various sponges. You will often see sea squirts, anemones, and diverse species of molluscs and echinoderms clinging to the rockwork.

In the water column and around the reefs, look for Salema porgy, sea bream, wrasse, and damselfish. Larger species such as grouper, moray eel, and various types of snapper are also frequently encountered.

For macro enthusiasts, the area is home to a variety of crustaceans including lobster, spiny lobster, hermit crabs, and spider crabs. You can also find octopus, cuttlefish, and various species of shrimp and sea cucumbers.

In specific locations like the Punta Drašnica reef, you may encounter catsharks.

Diving conditions

Diving conditions vary depending on the specific site and wind direction. The Neretva channel can experience moderate to strong currents, particularly around the B.E.U.S. wreck on Hvar.

In some areas, such as the Brač reefs, the water is well-protected from the Jugo wind, though other sites may experience larger swells. Visibility can range from 7 metres to 30 metres depending on the season and specific location.
