Ursus (Wreck)

On the northwestern edge of Vis, a few hundred meters south of the lighthouse on the Stončica peninsula, a small island – Pločica, rises a few meters above the sea. On the north side of the spot there is a buoy where a dive boat usually moors.

An islet around which different dives can be made – from nature ones including visiting a cavern at the depth of 6 m, swimming between the huge rocks or diving along a vertical wall to a wreck diving above over 200 years old cannons.

This is a small islet that can be swum around during a single dive. Besides numerous fish, you will see a few ancient amphorae. Amphoras are found from 14 to 37 meters in depth.

The highlight of this dive is the wreck of a B-24 bomber which crashed in 1944 and its hull with wings lies at a depth of 40 m, while the tail is accessible by technical divers only, lying at the depth of 52 m in a distance of about 100 m from the hull.

The name of Host refers to the isle located at the entrance to the Vis Bay and comes from the British officer William Hoste, who contributed to defeat the French navy during the Battle. As a result of hitting the rocks, there must have sunk more than one ship in this place.

In front of the entrance to the Vis Bay there are several small islets. Among these there are Volići, which consist of two isles that surface to one meter, Volić Veli and Volić Mali. On Volić Veli, located further from the island of Vis Isle, there is a lighthouse.

Hellenistic Port consists of the remains of an ancient harbour in front of the Issa Hotel. The sloping area is covered with yellow sponges. The entrance to the water is made from a concrete quay in a place where the water depth does not exceed 1.5 m.

A well-preserved wreck, densely covered by yellow sponges. This cargo-passenger wreck lays close to the islet of Ravnik and is claimed by many as the most beautiful wreck with great visibility.

Nova Pošta consists of a tunnel, a cavern, and a funnel (chimney) on the northernmost peninsula of the island of Vis. Your boat will be moored in the calm, lovely, wind-safe bay.

This site has two caves, one at 30 m and a shallower one at 10 m. Green cave is a very popular place to visit by boat and to go diving. This cave got its name by a beam of light that shines onto a green stone and makes a nice light show.
