Scuba diving at Mezanj in Zadar

About This Site
Mežanj is a popular cavern dive on a tiny uninhabited islet off the southeast end of Dugi Otok in the Zadar archipelago, and one of the most-booked sites in the area. A cave mouth at about 10 m (33 ft) opens into a spacious chamber whose floor slopes steeply down to roughly 40 m (130 ft), where a famous large old anchor rests on the bottom; divers then exit upward through a ceiling opening onto a plateau at around 6 m (20 ft). Local operators frequently pair it with the nearby Brbinjšćica site on a two-tank boat trip.

The dive wall and cavern sit on the south/seaward face of Mežanj islet, off the seaward coast of the northwestern half of Dugi Otok, leaving the site open to swell from the south through southeast. The dominant Jugo (Sirocco) blows up the Adriatic's SE-NW axis and builds the largest, longest waves here, making SE/SSE the primary swell-exposure direction. The bulk of Dugi Otok shelters the northern and northwestern landward sectors, and although the cold Bura (Bora) hammers down from the NE it has little fetch on this seaward face, so conditions on the dive itself are usually calm.
