Certification & difficulty
Technical
Snorkelling
Snorkel-friendly - Yes - primarily a snorkel/swim-in site; boats motor into the cave and passengers snorkel or swim inside; repeatedly described as safe for non-divers, in explicit contrast to Blue Cave (Bisevo) where swimming is not allowed; some visitors also jump ~10m from the cave opening into the sea, an optional added risk
Safety notes
Heavy day-tripper boat traffic and swimmer congestion in a shallow, confined chamber; one dive center restricts/requires prior approval and fees for summer scuba dives here 'for safety reasons' due to boat/swimmer density; optional cliff-jump from the cave opening is a stated tourist risk; sea urchins near entry rocks (water shoes advised)
Permits & fees
Confirmed entrance fee for tourists: approx. EUR 10 per person, introduced 1 July 2017 (previously free) - a standalone site fee, separate from the general Croatia ~EUR 15/year foreign-diver permit which applies only to scuba, not the snorkel/boat visit; one independent Tripadvisor review reported a differing '50 kuna' fee, likely reflecting an earlier pricing period
Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
