Zaton Bay
Zaton Bay lies between the villages of Zaton and Orašac north-west of Dubrovnik. Two caves open at about 5 m on the north-western side: one with a sandy floor and afternoon light shafts, the other leading 20 m in to two air pockets, the second with a tiny beach and stalactites. The dive then crosses to a wall that descends to a large rock at 18 m, and lobsters can be found on the sand towards 30 m.
