AURORA

Aurora is our pick for a genuinely atmospheric wreck dive in the Split area. It’s a shallow site, only five metres deep, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's simple. This old fishing vessel lies broken across the seabed, its hull split and spilling its guts. We love how the light plays through the gaps, illuminating schools of juvenile damselfish that dart in and out of the twisted metal. You'll spend your time here exploring the two main sections, one part listing heavily, the other almost flat. Look closely and you'll spot crabs scuttling amongst the debris, and we’ve often seen small octopus tucked into crevices. The wreck feels alive, even in its decay, with delicate hydroids swaying gently in the subtle surge. It's a fantastic spot for photographers, especially later in the afternoon when the sun casts long shadows. Because of the depth, it’s a brilliant site for newer divers getting their first taste of a genuine wreck, but also a relaxing, rewarding dive for anyone who appreciates a bit of history beneath the waves.
