Galijola
Galijola is a lonely rock with a lighthouse in the Kvarner Gulf, about 150 m long and 50 m wide. The southern side is the best for diving: boats anchor in about 12 m, divers follow the line to the wall edge at 15 m and continue down to a maximum of about 40 m. The dive ends by rising through a canyon to the safety stop, which many consider the best part.
