Boat-access Vis cave site with a tunnel, cavern, and chimney.
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.

Scuba Diving
The route is a classic Vis overhead profile: shallow tunnel, pool, arch, cave, and chimney-like passage, best handled with controlled buoyancy and route discipline.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target; the overhead passages and deeper cave make scuba the better fit.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site; the main interest sits below comfortable snorkel range and in overhead terrain.
