Dive Spot Guide•
Barbakonac
Barbakonac is a deep wall dive with passages and a wreck.
Local operator required
Usually run by the Rabac dive-center network.
Best for experienced divers on a guided Adriatic wall route; overhead passages and a wreck make buoyancy and gas planning matter.
About Barbakonac
Barbakonac is a deep wall-and-swim-through dive south of Rabac, with two rock passages coated in yellow encrusting anemones and a wreck off to the side that adds a second objective. The wall is the main attraction, with gorgonians, colorful sponges, crabs, scorpionfish, and goatfish giving the dive a classic Adriatic feel. It suits experienced divers who want a more structured route, overhead features, and a longer look around rather than a simple scenic swim.
