Baba Reef
A site at the Baba light in the Pakleni Islands, about 20 minutes by boat from Hvar town. The bottom slopes from 5 to 20 m, where a wall begins that drops to 30–40 m, covered in yellow gorgonians and orange and yellow sponges. Scorpionfish, moray eels, forkbeards and lobsters live on the wall; octopus and sometimes a seahorse can be found in the shallows.
