Kvarner's coral reef
Kvarner's underwater world is known for amazing wall dives and beautiful gorgonian coral reefs. The craggy coastline and relatively shallow water with a muddy bottom can result in poor visibility, but the underwater world's variety of plants and animal makes this garden extremely rich.

Description: coordinates: 45° 04'15'' N, 14° 43' 36'' E
Accessible by boat and with options for all levels of divers, Plic Tenki is very well known by its access tunnel large enough to be reached by two buddies together, which is actually at the beginning of a Tenki dive at 4-9 m. Inside the swim through, the ceiling is covered by sponges and corals, creating a range of different colorful effects.
The shallower part of a wall drop to 22 metres/72 feet but one the most interesting sections is a rock located at about 15 metres/49 feet. Pockmarked with holes, the rock is covered with a special underwater plant species and fish like breams, two banded breams and scorpionfish. It is a paradise for beginners, but advanced divers can also enjoy the deeper part of the reef at 25-40 metres/82-130 feet, which is covered with red Gorgonian corals.
