Peltastis shipwreck
Location: Directly opposite dive centre, near Klimno bay.
Max depth: 32 m

The "Peltastis" sank in 1968 and is known locally as the "GRK"(the Greek). The shipwreck is in excellent condition and still in one piece. She lies in an upright position with the tip of the foremast only 7 metres underwater. The wreck is 60 metres in length, lying in a maximum depth of 32 metres. More experienced divers can pass through the command bridge and cargo holds. The foredeck starts at a depth of +/- 18m and when moving towards the aft deck, depth increases to +/- 25m. The prop lies in the sand at 32 metres. There are large schools of fish present, including an abundance of scorpion fish on the wreck.

Vrbnik Cave
Location: Near the entrance to Vrbnik harbour   
Max depth: 20m

The diameter of the entrance to the cave is +/- 4 metres; 2 or 3 divers can comfortably enter at once. Divers must be careful not to stir up the sediment on the cave floor. The cave is +/- 25 metres long and in the centre you will see a stream of sunlight coming from a narrow siphon, extending up to the surface. There is not a lot of life in the cave, but the walls bordering the cave entrance are covered with interesting small cracks and holes, which make ideal hiding places for small fish.
