Kolocep Bezdan Abyss
Pt. Bezdan, located on the southern shore of the Island of Koločep in Croatia, offers a captivating dive experience. Unlike the sheer cliffs in the north, the southern shore boasts gradual slopes and shallows, providing a dynamic and visually stunning underwater environment. The most dramatic transition can be witnessed beneath the lighthouse, where the slope plunges suddenly and sharply into the abyss, making it an intriguing dive site for divers of all levels.
Point Bezdan is also home to a diverse range of marine life. Scyllarides latus squat lobsters, sea figs, sea squirts that thrive on organic waste and plankton, as well as moss can be observed in this vibrant habitat. The crystal clear waters surrounding Pt. Bezdan allow for excellent visibility, reaching up to 17 meters, ensuring divers can fully appreciate the underwater beauty.
To access this remarkable dive location, it is recommended to anchor on the sheltered side of the point. The descent begins with a descent to a shipwreck and can continue towards the center of the cove. Divers can explore the remnants of The Aurora, a two-mast coaster resting at a depth of 5 meters. As an ideal decompression stop, it adds another layer of fascination to the dive.
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced diver, Pt. Bezdan offers an immersive and captivating underwater experience. Don't miss the opportunity to explore this hidden gem in the waters of Croatia. For those seeking additional adventure, nearby attractions such as the Kalamota sea side footpath in Gornje Čelo provide further opportunities to appreciate the natural beauty of Koločep. Plan your dive at Pt. Bezdan and embark on a memorable underwater journey in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County.
