Night & Wreck Diving
Two of the most exciting ways to dive, and one wreck at the heart of it: the Peltastis, off Baška.
Peltastis: a freighter with a story
Among the dive sites around Baška, one comes with a real story. The Peltastis was a 70 m Greek freighter that sank in a storm in 1968. Today it lies between 17 and 33 metres in excellent condition, and divers can explore its cargo holds and the captain’s cabin.
The wreck at a glance
Wreck diving: what to expect
A wreck is a diving experience unlike any reef. You swim along real decks and bulkheads, watch light fall into the holds, and see how the sea has taken over a ship. Over the years a wreck becomes an artificial reef, and marine life moves in.
Wreck diving needs good planning and respect. We dive wrecks carefully and from the outside unless you have the training for more. Look, but do not touch, and never enter overhead spaces without the right training and equipment. The Wreck Diver specialty teaches exactly this: discovering wrecks safely, including the Peltastis.
Night diving: the sea after dark
After sunset the same sea looks like another planet. Colours change in the beam of your torch, and animals that hide by day come out at night. You dive with lights and signals, and with a simple, well-planned route.
The Night Diver specialty teaches you how to plan, signal and find your way after dark, so you can enjoy it with confidence.
Specialties that fit
Specialty courses are usually 1 to 2 days and start from €180. Certification IAC or PADI (PADI: €130 extra).
Planning your dive
Which dive we do depends on the weather, the sea and your experience, and we plan it together with you. When you book, tell us your certification and how many dives you have done, and ask us about night dives and the Peltastis. Certified divers should check in online before the first dive and bring their certification card and logbook. Diver check-in
