About Nova Pošta
Nova Pošta is the classic boat-access cave site on the northern side of Vis near Komiža. Divers move from a sheltered bay through a shallow tunnel into a rock-walled pool, then continue across an arch, cave, and chimney-like passage with bright sponge-covered rock and strong light effects. It suits guided scuba and rewards careful buoyancy more than speed.
