Dive-site story
The French Bouclier-class destroyer Dague sank in February 1915 after striking an Austro-Hungarian naval mine while escorting supply convoys near the harbor of Bar. Torn in two by the explosion, the wreck now rests on a muddy seabed with machinery, boilers, and twisted hull plating clearly recognizable. Visibility varies depending on maritime traffic and harbor runoff, yet the accessible depth makes it one of the most historically significant and approachable World War I shipwrecks along the Montenegrin coast.
Well-preserved mechanical sections including the steam engines and boiler piping
Historical WWI French naval artifact resting upright in sheltered coastal waters
Abundant macro critters sheltering within broken bulkhead joints and pipes
