Historical wrecks including Franceska di Rimini
Dive spots for advanced and technical divers
Unesco world heritage destinations
Variety of fish, octopuses, gorgonians, lobsters, sponges

Day 1:

Meet & greet at the airport. Group transfer to the port. Onboarding, meeting the crew & briefing. The trip will start cruising toward place Kukljica on island Ugljan. With one swim stop, the ship arrives before dinner time into this small Dalmatian place. Kukljica is a home port and the first day is always reserved for check diving equipment, briefing and taking of necessary supplies for the whole week.

 

Day 2:

The ship continues the journey toward south including two dive stops. First dive spot is usually located in an area of city Vodice and second dive spot is located near Rogoznica. Rogoznica is a small place on the coast where ship stays overnight. 
Dive spots that we are usually visiting in the area of Vodice and Rogoznica are Kukuljari, north side of island Kaprije, Sestrice, Sokol, Smokvica,
Tmara, Drvenik, Kablinac, etc. This area is the location of wreck Francesca da Rimini but this diving spot is reserved for advanced scuba and technical divers.
Francesca da Rimini is also specially protected cultural heritage and diving can be done only by the support of local dive club. 

 

Day 3:

The journey continues toward Vis and after 3 hours of journey, the ship arrives on the island. Usually, ship stays in the area of Vis for 2 days (Monday and Tuesday). The night is reserved for the port of Komiža. Diving spots on Vis are usually wrecks Tetti (up to 35 m, great visibility, congers), Vassillios (wreck 25-55m), fishing wreck Fortunal, wreck Brioni (only for advanced and technical divers) in combination with beautiful and deep walls. Third day (Monday) the ship remains in Komiža over the night.
Vis has a very interesting history. Komiža was former pirate port and its castle and church of St. Nicholas date from 1585. The island was closed for foreign tourism as a result of the headquarters of Marshal Tito until 1989. 
Vis route is very often determined by weather conditions as this island is quite isolated from the mainland. This is the main reason why all our clients should be aware that captain has right to change this route due to the weather conditions. 
Vis is definitely a place for more experienced divers and it is a specially protected area.

 

Day 4:

After 2 dives in an area of Vis, ship stays one more night in Komiža or leaves island Vis and continues the journey toward the coastline. This decision is usually determined by weather conditions which are predicted for the following day.
