Garden is a deep Korcula reef plateau with fan corals.
Garden is a deep Korcula reef off Lumbarda that stands out for dense fan coral cover. A steep step drops onto a broad plateau, so the dive feels like a layered gorgonian garden rather than a single wall. Plan it as a boat dive for experienced divers, and save it for settled days when the entry and exit can stay controlled. Octopus, moray eels, seahorses, and nudibranchs are realistic extras around the coral.
