In the north of the island Hvar, right in front of a stony reef with many small caves, a long field with old amphoras stretches along depths of 12m to 28m. The amphoras belonged to a Greek ship that ran aground and lost its cargo. Now they offer shelter to many fish. The neighboring seagrass-fields on the other hand are home to many sea-slugs.



Amphora

The ship operated during WW I under the flag of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as a passenger's ship. In the morning of May 9, 1916 it was hit by two torpedoes of a French U-boat operating under Italian flag. It sank almost immediately, causing the death of 11 people. 27 people could be saved. The ship, with a length of 51m, had a cargo hold of 480 tons.
The bottom of the wreck lies upright on its keel at a depth of 56m. The two torpedoes caused the ship to now rest in two parts on the bottom of the sea. These two parts are well preserved and make for an interesting dive. Due to the depth, the wreck is ideal for technical dives, such as Rebreather or Entry-Level-Trimix. The best time to dive to the Dubrovnik is from April to May and from September to October.

Approximately two and a half hours by boat from Tucepi, between the island Hvar and the peninsula Peljesac, lies the wreck of the steamboat Dubrovnik.
