Easy boat pinnacle off Goli Island with a wall and small marine life.
Mala Dragica is an easy boat dive on the southern side of Goli Island, built around a shallow-to-mid-depth pinnacle that drops into a wall. Divers can circle the rock, pick a depth that suits their comfort level, and finish with a safety stop under the boat. The site is popular for small-life hunting, especially nudibranchs, and the rockwork also holds scorpionfish, octopus, crabs, damselfish, and wrasse. It is a relaxed Adriatic profile that rewards careful buoyancy more than speed.
Safety Notes
Use the boat as your reference point for the safety stop and keep scanning the wall and rock for small marine life.
Access Restrictions
Boat dive only; best for divers who are comfortable choosing their depth around a wall and finishing under the boat.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Swim around the pinnacle and choose a depth profile that suits the dive, then finish with a safety stop under the boat.
Freediving
The shallow top of the pinnacle makes it workable for freedive practice, but the wall makes the site better for scuba.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the value is in the pinnacle, wall, and marine life below the surface.
