The Blue Cave, one of the most extraordinary places on the Croatian coast, is located in the Balun Cove on the east side of Bisevo, a small island near to the west coast of Vis island. In this small portion of land of only 5 square miles there is a series of caves with access from the sea. The cave can only be visited in small boats from the sea through a small natural opening of only 1-foot-high by less than 2 wide. Around noon, the sea is calm the sun's rays penetrate through an underwater opening in the Blue Cave, reflect from the white floor and illuminate the cave with blue and silver objects in the water color. The cave has two openings, a small, artificially deepened in 1884, which can pass through the small boat. That opening has no impact on the lighting in the cave. The second is much wider on the south side of the cave below sea level, and it penetrates through the sunlight. The cave is ideal for scuba divers of all categories. Depth is 3 to 20 m. The cave is very interesting geomorphological and represents a typical karst form.
