This dive site offers the exceptionally rare opportunity to explore a submerged 15th-century monastery in the Rovni reservoir. Divers can navigate around the main church structure and its bell tower, which now rest deep underwater. The site provides a unique, somewhat eerie, and historically significant freshwater diving experience.
