SC WÖRTH Taucher - Istria Peninsula

The SS Probitas is a real piece of history resting just off the coast near Ksamil, a proper Mediterranean dive. We’ve found her to be a fascinating, accessible wreck, sitting upright and pretty much intact, which is always a bonus. You can swim through a few open compartments, and we always spot big schools of snapper and seabream darting in and out of the structure. Keep an eye out for cowfish, too, they often shelter in the darker sections. It’s a solid dive for anyone comfortable with wrecks but not looking for anything too challenging, a good way to spend an afternoon underwater.
