Boat wall dive on Susak with archaeology and current-fed life.
Boat wall dive on Susak with archaeology and current-fed life.
Boat-accessed wall; a local dive operator is the normal way to run the site.
Susak-secca Margarina is a boat dive on the south side of Susak where a reef edge breaks into a long wall and broken canyon. Archaeological debris sits in the reef zone, so the dive mixes rock texture, old cargo remains, and plenty of marine life rather than a simple reef cruise. Strong current and exposed water make it best for confident divers who can hold trim and stay close to the wall, with tuna, jackfish, octopus, and moray eels part of the draw.

Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Strong current and the broken wall profile make trim, gas planning, and route discipline important.
Access Restrictions
Boat access is the normal approach; treat this as a guided current-sensitive wall dive rather than a casual shore entry.
Legal Notes
Follow Croatian boating and diving rules and any local anchoring guidance for Susak waters.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Follow the reef edge into the wall, then work the broken rock and artifact zones with controlled buoyancy; this is better as a deliberate wall profile than a fast drift.
Freediving
Not a casual freedive target. The wall, current, and boat-based access make it a better scuba site than breath-hold work.
Snorkeling
Only a poor casual snorkel choice because the useful structure sits on a deeper wall and current can push you off line.
