Orud
Adriatic reef-and-wall dive with archaeological detail
Local operator required
Boat access and depth make a local operator the practical way to dive it.
About Orud
Orud is a long Adriatic reef-and-wall dive off the island of the same name, with a shallow crest, steep drop-offs, gorgonian growth, and an archaeological twist from pottery fragments in the ridge. It suits experienced divers who want a dramatic wall profile and a boat-based Dalmatian site that rewards slow exploration.

Typical Conditions
Clear Adriatic wall conditions with a shallow crest, steep drop-offs, and gorgonians on the exposed faces.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy disciplined on the shallow crest, mind the abrupt wall edge, and follow the operator plan for the deeper drop-off.
Access Restrictions
Plan on a boat dive with a local operator; the site is not a casual shore swim.
Legal Notes
Follow local boat and marine-site rules and stay inside the operator brief.
Local Intel For Orud
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
A classic wall-and-reef dive for experienced divers who like profile changes and slow inspection of the ridge.
Freedive
Not a freedive target because the wall and depth suit scuba planning.
Snorkel
The shallow crest is attractive, but the real site is the wall, so scuba is the right fit.
Chill / Non-diver
This is a serious reef dive, not a casual swim spot.
