Nikrmana: Unfortunately there's been some continuing issues with this cache from 2018 and there is no reaction from the owner. Thus as there is no option to replace the cache, I am archiving it. I'm also archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, please contact Geo Sova or Nikrmana by send email from their profile, with a cache GC number included. Assuming cache meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This cache is ment for divers who want to experience the beautiness of an Croatian Island which is not very touristy yet. Furthermore it also will bring you to our favorite places on the Island - such as recreating dinner on the port or relaxing day on the beach!
You will pass all this places as you need to see them to answer the questions to finally get the coordinates for the Cache!

Attention you need a dive computer to exactelly measure the depth of your dive!!!!

The coordinates already given with the cache, will bring you to a parking lot which is close by to the final destination

Basically it makes no difference in what sequence you answer the questions but if I can give you a recommendation for a nice/planned day I would do the following.

Question 1.)
Start with the dive, maybe in the afternoon. You need to go to a local diving center (either in Kali or in Ugljan) and ask for the diving place for the wreck "FRANAZA". You either go there with your own boat or you book a guided trip at one of the diving centers. (We went with "Diving Center Ugljan" www.diving-ugljan.com , which I really really can recommend, they know a lot of interesting places to go and are very well trained - even if their website does not show this :-) )

Once arrived at the wreck you need to look for the anchor. One of the arms of the anchor is in the sand and the other one directs to the watersurface. To answer the first question you need to measure the depth of the top of anchor arm. (Pls. check the arrow on the enclosed picture)

AA(2Digits) = Depth rounded DOWN to full meters divided by 2

Question 2.)
You need to go to Ugljan Port (If you did you dive with "Diving Center Ugljan" you anyway get back there) If you follow the port promenade into direction South you will pass some nice restaurants - it is only a walk of about 500 meters. After a nice restaurant on you left hand side you will find also a monument/column on your left hand side. Check out this column and answer the following question - hint check closely and count accurate!
B = How many figures/people can you see on AND in the monument:

If you followed my recommendation to do the dive in the afternoon and you started from Ugljan port you just can have a nice and relaxing dinner at one of the restaurants after your dive! Watching the sun go down look at the nice boats located at the port - really nice!

By answering the questions correctly you finally will get to the place where the cache is stored.
The cache is a small plastic box (tupperware) 10x6x3 (LxWxH) .
It is hided on a pathway next to the beach close to a small hut. On the hut a bottom up anchor is painted on.
Background to this type of huts:
They are marking points on the coast where power cables are going into the sea and on the otherside of the sea coming back on land to make sure that ships do not anchor close to the line between the huts.
You can park your car in about 500m to 1km distance to the cache on a parking lot. Only one road leads there, so you basically can't go wrong.

The place where the cache is hided is very close to our favorite beach, where you could enjoy some relaxing hours at the beach!

Coordinates of the cache:
N 44° 08.AA9'
E 15° 04.1B8'
