1. Gilda
A freight steam ship lies off Cape Savudrija, Istria’s most northern cape. Having hit an underwater mine, the Gilda was split in two. As this dive site is on the open sea, you will do an open water dive with the help of an anchored rope or the rope of a buoy tied to the wreck. When diving at this site, all divers need to be alert and cautious. In the company of an experienced guide, your adventure and merging with the underwater world is sure to become an experience you won’t forget.
2. Adriana
On the seabed, under the most western point of the Istrian peninsula, at the cape of Savudrija, is a ship wreck of around seventy years old. This tug-boat was wrecked during an air attack in the
Second World War. Because of its accessible but mysterious interior it is particularly interesting for divers who have recently overcome diving techniques
on wrecks at greater depths.
3. Coriolanus
The wreck of the Coriolanus, a sunken battle ship of the British Royal Navy of the Shakespeare class,
is located west of Novigrad. Although being a minesweeper, the ship sunk after hitting a mine. Powered
by steam engines, designed for the roughest weather, and weighing more than 554 tons, it was armed with anti-aircraft cannons and 30 anti-submarine depth charges. It was drowned on 5th May 1945 by bumping into the floating mine.
4. Numidia
Dating back to World War II, the wreck of the Numidia is one of the largest in the Adriatic Sea. Its incredible length of 120 m represents a true challenge to all experienced divers. With the wreck located at a depth from 33 – 40 m, much experience is needed in planning the dive. Depending upon water currents, the visibility at this dive site may vary, and only a few divers have been lucky enough to see the wreck.
5. Romagna
Poor weather conditions in November of faraway 1912 were the doom of the Romagna, a freight ship that sunk near Rovinj. On its last voyage, the Romagna was transporting wheat from Ravenna to Trieste. Today it lies at a depth of 40 m, and it is an almost ghostly sight, with its 60 m of length heavily covered in the remains of fishing nets. Experienced divers dive to the Romagna only in conditions of exceptionally good visibility.
