Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - SIGRID offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Sigrid sits upright at 25 metres, a motor vessel that went down in 1977 after a run-in with a rock during a gale. She’s a decent size, 72 metres long, making for a good exploration dive. We found the stern section particularly interesting, with the propeller still in place and home to some surprisingly large scorpionfish tucked into the nooks. While she's been down a while, the wreck retains a lot of her original character, and it’s an easy dive for anyone comfortable at that depth. Visibility can vary, but generally, it’s good enough to appreciate the scale of the wreck.
