Boat-only wall dive with crevices and small caves.
Brestova is a boat-only reef wall north of Rabac where the appeal is the steep limestone face, the crevices and the little caves rather than a flat drift line. The shallower section hides fish among rock piles, then the wall gives the dive its shape and a much more dramatic finish. It is a site for controlled buoyancy and a planned boat drop, not a casual shore hop. Lobsters, cuttlefish, octopus, scorpionfish and conger eels are the reliable reasons to look closely.
