Babino Wall Rabac wall dive with steep relief and rich sand-edge life
Boat dive zone 1 is organized through the local Rabac operator.
Babino Wall is a steep wall dive south of Rabac. The route starts on a shallow plateau, then follows the edge into a beautifully overgrown wall that drops deeper northward. The wall and nearby sand patches hold lobsters, conger eels, flounders, rays, and other Adriatic life, with large gorgonians covering the wall. It is a regular place for buoyancy control and wall-navigation practice.
