Dive-site story
An Austro-Hungarian steam cargo ship that grounded near the entrance of Kotor Bay during the First World War, the SS Tihany sits intact on a sloping seabed. Decayed wooden decking exposes the cargo holds, internal framing, and steamship machinery to natural light. Divers navigate the hull with precise buoyancy and gas management along the descent.
