Special Features

The ship of the former President of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito, has only recently been resting in the depths off the coast of Cape Kamenjak, namely since 2016. For four years, one had to wait for the approval to sink the Vis. Today, however, the Vis is an ecosystem in itself; marine creatures have long made it their own, and it offers divers exciting and spooky diving experiences. 

Upright and proud, the Vis confronts you; it seems almost undamaged and as if it could set sail again at any moment. The highlight of this wreck? Where once the footsteps of passengers echoed, along the stairs and the outer railing, the brave among you can still dive today. What, if not this wreck, invites more to penetrate: the salon, bedroom with terraces, kitchen, sauna, laundry room, and engine room can all be explored inside. 

For those who are less into the adrenaline rush, the outer wall of the wreck offers an incredibly wide variety of growth; colorful corals and sponges cover every inch. Hundreds of schools of fish surround its territory on and around the wreck. Several dives are definitely worth it on the Vis; otherwise, one cannot fully appreciate its immense size and beauty.
