Tihany Wreck

During World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Navy rented the Tihany, a steamer. The steamship's name is really the same as a town in Hungary. The ship plied the eastern Adriatic coast and had only been in service for ten years when it sank on the island of Unije on the islet of kolji. Attempts to resurrect it were similarly unsuccessful.

It is now one of the best diving sites in Montenegro. Exploring something with such a long history is always fascinating. Find the shipwreck by diving in. It's fully rusted, and you can even dive into the steamship's innards to see what's left of it. It has also attracted a large number of marine species, which have made this wreck their home. Apart from the little fishes that may be found circling the wreck, you'll also come across lobsters, sheepshead fish, and damselfish, among other things. The ruin is coated with algae, but this is what brings the wreck's beauty to life.

Because the Tihany shipwreck is not marked, a reference line must be established that will be utilized for both descending and rising. The visibility is excellent and the sea current is mild during this dive. To extend your bottom time, go wreck diving just above the shipwreck deck, which is at a depth of 35 meters. Penetration of the wreck is feasible, but only for trained Wreck Speciality divers. The maximum dive time is 15 minutes, and the absolute dive time is 35 minutes, including the safety stop.

Best time: May- September

Location: Croatia, Montenegro
