Dive-site story
Resting on a steep slope off the southern coast of Vis near Ravnik Island, this passenger-cargo steamship sank after running aground during rough weather in the early twentieth century. The hull lies tilted on its port side, remarkably well preserved despite decades submerged. Sponges and yellow gorgonians encrust the steel plates, while open cargo holds invite exploration by trained divers equipped for deep profiles.
