Steep Vis wall-and-cavern dive with a boat-based plan.
Žali Potok/Šekoda is a steep wall-and-cavern dive on the west side of Vis Island, built around the same underwater rock but offering two different routes. The shallower Žali Potok line follows the wall with your right shoulder and mixes overhangs, a small cave, and coral-covered ceilings with the kind of structure that makes the site feel dramatic without requiring extreme depth. It is the kind of Adriatic dive that rewards slow finning, good buoyancy, and a boat-based plan more than speed.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Keep good buoyancy around overhangs and caverns, and monitor no-decompression time if you continue into the deeper Šekoda variation.
Access Restrictions
Boat access through a local Vis center is the normal route, and the deeper variant should be treated as a guided overhead dive rather than an off-the-beach swim.
Legal Notes
Archaeological remnants and military objects are part of the site and should not be disturbed or removed.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The dive follows a steep wall with your right shoulder on Žali Potok and shifts into a deeper return line on Šekoda.
