About Nemo’s Garden
Nemo’s Garden is a shallow underwater greenhouse site in Noli Bay, built from transparent biospheres anchored over sand. It is a calm, unusual visit rather than a traditional wreck or reef dive, with the biospheres and the surrounding bay as the main attraction. Summer is the best window, when the sea is calm and the site is fully active. Good buoyancy and respect for the access rules matter because the structures and anchor lines are controlled, not open to free wandering.
