Pakleni Otoci

The Pakleni Islands are a series of islands located directly across from the entrance to Hvar harbor. Vodnjak Reef, on the other hand, is a dive site that is particularly interesting. The reef is adorned with a colorful kaleidoscope of algae and corals, with equally colorful fish darting in and out, making it a wonderful site to go diving in Croatia.

Pakleni Otoci is practically a 10km/6.2mi long chain of limestone islets off the southwest coast of the island of Hvar. There are 16 islands in all, with Sveti Klement being the largest. Divers of various levels of experience flock to the islands, which provide a variety of intriguing diving opportunities. Vodnjak (canyon with depths ranging from 15m/49ft to 40m/131ft), Vela Garska (70m/230ft long wall with a maximum depth of 30m/98ft), Poseidon Pillar (beautiful chimney dive), Acnhor Wall (interesting drop off), and the wreck "Paulina," a wooden boat that sank about 150 years ago, are some of the most popular dive sites near Pakleni
