EDEN V - Vis & Biševo

The Eden V, resting off Vis, isn't your typical Croatian wreck dive. Forget deep, dark penetrations. This is a shallow, sprawling affair, perfect for extended bottom times and really soaking it all in. We love how accessible it is, especially for those who prefer to keep their safety stops short and sweet. The ship itself, a substantial cargo vessel, lies broken but largely intact, with parts of the superstructure reaching up into just a meter of water. You’ll find its sheer size impressive, even in the shallows. The stern section is particularly photogenic, with light dappling through the twisted metal. Schools of damselfish shimmer around the rusted plating, and we’ve spotted moray eels peeking out from behind collapsed bulkheads. Our favourite part is navigating the cargo holds, now open to the sky, feeling like you’re exploring a forgotten underwater city. It's a fantastic spot for photographers, or anyone who enjoys a relaxed exploration of history without the nitrogen narcosis.
