Veli & Mali Ćutin
The two small islands of Veli and Mali Ćutin lie off the east coast of Lošinj, between Cres and Rab. Kron Diving calls it the most beautiful dive site in the Adriatic: bright red gorgonians start at about 28 m, followed by yellow gorgonians from 38 m, with soft corals and sponges in the holes and terraces. Schools of dentex and tuna pass by on their way to open water, and catshark eggs can be found on the gorgonians.
