MV Peltastis
MV Peltastis
DEPTH: 15 - 33 m
SKILL: Advanced
The Peltastis wreck lies close to the northeast shore of the Island of Krk. It was a freight ship flying under the Greek flag, so it is nicknamed the “Greek”. During a storm, on the night of 7th- 8th January, 1968, it foundered on the craggy coast and sank 50 m from shore. The bow of the wreck (length: 60.15 m; width: 9 m; height: 4.26 m) lies in the direction of the shore at a depth of 15-16 m; the stern lies at 32 m.
The Peltastis can be reached in two ways. From the shore or by boat. From the shore it's a 100 meters swim (5 minutes) to the wreck. The front and rear masts are both marked by a buoy with line. The other option is a boat dive. There are several diving centers that offer boat dives.
