This dive site features the Maona, a former Yugoslavian minesweeper intentionally sunk in 1991 to create an underwater attraction. Resting upright on a sandy bottom at 21 meters, the wreck is now a thriving artificial reef. It is fully colonized by marine life, making it a fantastic subject for photographers.
