Teti Wreck

The Teti was an American-built cargo steamer from 1883 that ran onto the cliffs of Mali Barjak near Komiža on 23 May 1930. Winter storms broke her up, and the remains now lie on a slope from about 8 m down to 33 m. The wreck is so overgrown that it works like a reef: large conger and moray eels are used to divers, and big scorpionfish, forkbeards and schools of sardines live around the plates.

Tips: Shallow and easy, so it is the usual first wreck on Vis and a good night dive. The eels come very close; keep your hands away from the morays.
