Sveti Andrija
Sveti Andrija is one of islands of beautiful Elaphite archipelago, serving as a lighthouse from 1874 and surrounded with many legends. A dive starts in the shallows on the sheltered part of the island at 3 m depth and divers descend along the edge of the cliff dropping down into blue darkness and complete stillness to 80 m depth. It is one of the most magnificent descends in Adriatic and a must see for every experienced diver. The cliff is rich with marine life and it is also one of rare places where a famous red coral can be seen. A sandy seabed offers extraordinary beauty of colorful Mediterranean flora and fauna: beautiful sponges, amberjacks, damselfish, triplefins etc. On the ascent, divers can visit a cave on 12 m inhabited with pink algae and sea slugs
