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.

Key Hazards

Boat trafficSurge

Safety Notes

Keep buoyancy disciplined on the shallow crest, mind the abrupt wall edge, and follow the operator plan for the deeper drop-off.

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.
