Campanella: expert Hvar boat dive with a famous spire and strong current.
Boat access, deep relief, and strong current make a local guided center the practical way to dive Campanella.
Campanella is an expert-level boat dive off Hvar in the Pakleni island group. The underwater spire rises steeply from deep water to just below the surface, so the site is all about vertical relief, open-sea exposure, and strong-current management. Divers come for the rich coral, sponge, and fish life around the rock, but the dive is best left to experienced teams who are comfortable with depth and drift.
