Fortunal Wreck
A modern fishing trawler that hit the north coast of Vis through a navigation error in the 1990s and sank within minutes. She sits upright at 35–51 m with fishing gear and crew belongings still on board, and large scorpionfish all over her. On the way back, a 50 m tunnel in the coast between 6 and 3 m, with old stalactites, tiny shrimp and forkbeards, makes an unusual safety stop.
