Why go
Vis Island lies in the Adriatic Sea off Croatia and is centred on wreck dives, turning sunken vessels into reef-like habitat. Dives run to 35 m with around 20 m visibility, gentle currents and sea temperatures of 15–25°C. Marine highlights include Blue Cave, wrecks and corals. Best season is May–Oct, typically reached by boat. A good choice for divers with some experience. Open Water certification is sufficient for most sites here.

Clear water and the chance of corals — what more do you want?
I bring my OW students here. The mild current makes a proper dive plan essential, and the briefing matters.
Beautiful spot. Do respect the reef and keep your distance.
