Malibu Bay
Malibu Bay: steep wall with fish and octopus.
Local operator required
Plavnik access is boat-based and guided, so a local operator is the practical default.
Guided boat wall dive off Krk/Plavnik with a shallow plateau, an overgrown drop, and plenty of fish along the ledges.
About Malibu Bay
Malibu Bay is a steep wall dive off Krk and Plavnik, with a shallow plateau that drops into an overgrown wall. The site is known for its vertical shape, fish density, and the way scorpionfish, nudibranchs, octopus, and the occasional conger eel hold along the ledges. It is best treated as a guided boat dive, with the calmest outings on settled water and tight buoyancy over the drop.

Local Intel For Malibu Bay
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A wall dive starting from a plateau around 20 m and descending along the wall to about 40 m.
Freediving
Better suited to scuba than freediving because the wall and deeper ledges reward longer bottom time and controlled ascent planning.

Not a snorkel-first site; the main structure sits below easy surface viewing.
