Little Church.
A shallow cave next to the Temple. The entrance is at 5 m and the floor descends to a sandy patch at 8 m, where divers can kneel and look at the encrusting sponges, corals and other animals on the walls. The centre sets the maximum depth anywhere from 10 to 18 m and says the site can be combined with the Temple and the Cliff in one dive.
Every try dive I ran at Fiskardo was here, and half the night-course dives.

Cave entrance at 5 m, sloping down to a sandy patch at 8 m. The centre gives the maximum depth as 'adjustable from 10 to 18 metres'.
The centre does not say how this site is reached; it says most of its sites are reached by boat from Fiskardo harbour in under 20 minutes, and describes the sea as calm and often current-free, with visibility that can reach 40 m. The shallow entrance and the kneeling area on sand suit first dives and skill practice, and with the maximum set between 10 and 18 m the dive stays within PADI Scuba Diver (12 m) and Open Water (18 m) limits. In Peter's account every try dive he ran in 2004–05 was held here, and it was one of the two sites used for night-dive courses. No source mentions current or surge at the site.
415 dives.
From the log — the dates follow the pattern I dived, so read them as representative rather than exact.
