4Vis Wreck
Wreck of a mercantile ship sunk by a boat mine after the II WW , when she transported aids to Rijeka. One of most interesting wrecks in nord adriatic. The cargo ship "VIS" was build 1921 in Port Glasgow by Dunlop, Bremner & Co. She was 79m long, 12,5m wide and had 2865 BRT. On the 13th of february 1946 she was heading to Rasa to load a cargo of coal and was going close to the Istrian cost in a save declared corridor, because the minefields were still not cleared. But a mine hit the ship on the portside and after 10 minutes the "VIS" was gone, causing a loss of 3 lives. Now she is standing upright & intact on the sandy bottom and as the guy above said: "propably one of the best wrecks in the adriatic sea"! -GS, Big Blue Dive Academy- By boat from a local dive center Vis Wreck is also known as ex RENTERIA.

11TA 36 wreck
This torpedo escort destroyer of smaller dimensions (82 m long, with a beam of 8.6 m) was designed for convoy escort duties and for anti-submarine operations. Her construction began in the shipyard of Rijeka and commissioned by the Italian Navy under the name "Stella Polare". Following Italy's capitulation She was commandeered by the German Navy, designating it "TA 36". It was launched on July 11th in 1943. and sank on March 18th in 1944. when, due to a navigational error, it struck an underwater mine some 800 m north of the wharf at Brestova. Although Germans were aware of the minefield, the ship's captain was taking a forbidden route. It was also noted that the site of sinking was recoded at a wrong location where, of course, it could not be located. The wreck was discovered accidentally and its condition shows the true fate that befell the vessel. More than 40 German sailors died in this incident. The wreck is officially categorized as a war grave, and as such is under the protection of the Croatian Ministry of culture. Consequently, diving is possible only in the organisation of licensed diving centres. The wreck can be found about 800 m to the north from Brestova jetty and the exact coordinates are 45d 08m N, 14d 13m E, at a depth of 45 to 65 metres. Her twin barrelled guns and anti-aircraft guns, as well as the triple-barrelled torpedo launchers with torpedoes still in them have remained in place. The explosion broke the ship in two immediately adjacent to the command bridge. The bow came to rest about 150 m from the rest of the ship and is of no interest to divers. Visibility is variable, but often very good and the current is moderate, but occasionally can go strong. Depth: 45-65 m Length: 82,3 m Width: 8,6 m Source: http://www.crodiver.com Approximately 800m north of the Brestova jetty. TA 36 wreck is also known as Stella Polare.
