Seka Drašan is a cluster of rocks rising from the open sea off the north-east side of Lastovo, less than a mile from the island and facing the bay of Zace. At low tide the tops show only a metre above the surface, and below them the rock falls away to 32 m among plenty of fish.
Also known as Seka Drasan, Drasan plic, Drašan.
Where it is and how deep
42.7748° N, 16.9335° EApproximate position — the dashed circle shows where the site lies; your operator's briefing has the mooring.
The dive
The rocks stand in open water off the bay of Zace, with their tops just a metre clear of the sea at low tide, so the shallow crown is close to the surface. The rock then drops away to a maximum of 32 m (105 ft). Fish are numerous around the rock.
