Boat wall dive at Ljuta with amphora and gorgonians
Boat wall dive at Ljuta with amphora and gorgonians
Boat-only access on the west side of Zirje is normally handled through local dive operators or charters.
Ljuta is a boat-access wall dive on the outer side of Zirje, where a shallow start gives way to a steep drop-off lined with yellow gorgonians. Amphora, pottery, and old tube fragments add a historic feel, while octopus, bream, parrotfish, and crabs make it a rich Adriatic wall for experienced divers. Treat it as a controlled boat dive, not a casual shore outing.
