Hvar island
Stambedar on Pakleni

Pakleni islands are a group of islands located just off Hvar town. The name of this tiny archipelago (about twenty islets right opposite the town of Hvar) which extends undulating along the south side of Hvar comes from the word "paklina" (melted pine resin for 'rasping' boat plating). This archipelago is the most beautiful part of the Hvar riviera and beside the most popular beaches it is a place of some very interesting diving spots.
Stambedar is a small island of the Pakleni otoci archipelago. Stambedar is interesting for divers due to the fabulous underwater cliff that begins at the depth of 5 m and drops to the depth of 45 m. It has a rich marine world, many fish, algae, snails, sera-urchin and other sea creatures, and in the deeper part of the wall there is a forest of red and violet gorgonias. Location is suitable for both beginners and advanced categories.
