This walls are in 3 best location for me in this area . There is possible to dive around reef on top of walls till 12m nice for discovery and also nice rich corallwalls deep suitable for Aowd divers. OWD divers are diving on half depth of walls, that mean taking a care for bouyency. Return is on 5 m at nice reef with reach sea life.

2.Gnizdo

Depth from 12 to 45m. Top rich wall. Slorpion fish, langusta, big breams

Wait 5.45 min of GNIZDO VIDEO WATCH IT!

Wall is my reserve option for next day, because its so beautiful with sea life. From 15 to 40 m are beautiful walls with lot of holes, coralls, fish who is living in holes. There are reef till 18 m for owd and discovery divers.

UNDERWATER WORLD OF THE EASTERN COAST OF BRAČ ISLAND

1. Shallow area (0–20 m)

The eastern coast of Brač is known for its crystal-clear sea and very diverse shallow underwater landscape. The seabed is a combination of pebbles, sand, and rocky slabs, and in some locations you can find Posidonia oceanica meadows – one of the most important ecosystems in the Adriatic.

Flora and fauna of the shallow zone

Plants and algae

  • Posidonia oceanica – large seagrass, habitat for numerous species
  • Cystoseira spp. – dense brown algal bushes
  • Padina pavonica – fan-shaped alga
  • Ulva lactuca – sea lettuce

Fish of the shallow zone

  • Salema (Sarpa salpa)
  • Black seabream (Spondyliosoma cantharus)
  • Red porgy (Pagrus pagrus)
  • Seabreams (Diplodus spp.)
  • Two-banded seabream
  • Rainbow wrasse (Coris julis)
  • Peacock wrasse (Thalassoma pavo)
  • Dusky grouper – juvenile individuals
  • Moray eel (Muraena helena) – often hidden in holes

Crustaceans and molluscs

  • Lobster (Palinurus elephas) – rare but possible
  • Scorpionfish (Scorpaena porcus / scrofa)
  • Date mussel (Lithophaga lithophaga) – strictly protected
  • Seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus / hippocampus) – occasionally in Posidonia
  • Octopus (Octopus vulgaris)
  • Cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis)
  • Monkfish – small individuals (Lophius spp.)

Echinoderms and other organisms

  • Sea urchins (Paracentrotus lividus and Arbacia lixula)
  • Starfish (Echinaster sepositus)
  • Sea cucumbers (Holothuria spp.)

2. Cliffs and underwater canyons (20–40 m)

On the eastern side of Brač there are impressive underwater cliffs and mini-canyons, where the bottom drops steeply from shallow areas into vertical walls covered with rich marine life. With less light penetrating these depths, the biology changes – filter feeders and species adapted to currents dominate.

Typical species of the walls and canyons

Colonial organisms

  • Red and yellow sponges (Axinella spp.)
  • Sea squirts (Halocynthia papillosa)
  • Red coral (Corallium rubrum) – in protected, darker areas
  • Pink and yellow gorgonians (Eunicella cavolini, E. singularis)
  • Dead man’s fingers (Alcyonium acaule) – soft corals

Fish of the deeper cliffs

  • Anthias (Anthias anthias) – orange schools around the walls
  • Large scorpionfish (Scorpaena scrofa)
  • Dusky grouper (Epinephelus marginatus) – common in cooler caves
  • Dentex (Dentex dentex) – occasionally swims deeper
  • Moroccan dentex (Dentex maroccanus)
  • John Dory (Zeus faber) – occasional
  • Bonito and amberjack passing through the open water

Crustaceans and other benthic species

  • Spider crab (Maja squinado)
  • Cave shrimp (Plesionika spp.)
  • Lobster (Palinurus elephas) – more common here than in the shallows
  • Squat lobster (Galathea spp.)

Echinoderms and others

  • Long-spined sea urchin (Centrostephanus longispinus) – rare but possible
  • Sand stars (Astropecten spp.)
  • Large sea cucumbers (Holothuria tubulosa / forskali)

Caves and crevices

In the deeper parts of the cliffs, small caves can be found, containing:

  • Large scorpionfish
  • Groupers
  • Hermit crabs
  • Colonies of filter feeders: sponges, ascidians, gorgonians

3. General impression of the eastern Brač underwater world

This area offers a combination of:

  • clear, sunlit shallow zones, ideal for Posidonia and diverse fish,
  • steep cliffs and canyons, typical of the southern Adriatic,
  • rich marine life, perfect for sport divers, underwater photographers, and explorers.
