Prst

At the start of Grgur Island lies Prst, which translates to "Finger." True to its name, this formation resembles a finger and can be reached within a quick 15-minute ride on a speed boat.

Divers exploring this site can expect to encounter a variety of marine life, including nudibranchs, scorpionfish, octopus, lobster, damselfish, and sea bream.

The top of the site sits at approximately 5-8 meters deep. From the point of anchoring, divers can cross the plateau towards the wall, where the depth gradually increases. On the side of the "finger," the depth ranges between 15-20 meters. Begin your dive here, keeping the wall on your left side. As you explore the front side of the finger, the depth plunges to around 40 meters, while the right side becomes shallower again. Additionally, there is a charming little cavern nestled between the wall and the start of the finger.

Prst is a fantastic dive site suited for both beginners and experienced divers. With a maximum depth of 23 meters and visibility extending up to 18 meters, this location in the Municipality of Lopar, Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia is perfect for divers of various skill levels.
