5. Greek antique wreck

Historical site from the 3rd century BC

9Greco-Illyrian conflicts and trade of Hvar and Vis with Makarska and the coast.

The ship sank off the coast of Hvar at a depth of 15 – 25m. The site has been well preserved and not devastated in the last 30 years!

A clean and wild part of Hvar is a delight for divers who like to photograph antiquities!

An amphora is an ancient ceramic pot with a long, narrow neck, two handles, and, most often, a pointed bottom. It was used to transport and store wine, oil, honey, salted fish, dates, grains, etc. Its specific shape was created by adapting to the needs of ship transport. They appeared in Greece, were taken over by the Romans, and were produced until the 11th century in the Byzantine area. The shape of amphorae (roundness, length of the neck, appearance of the handle) depends on the place of production, so there are Greek (which are the only ones decorated and sometimes have a widened bottom on which they can stand on their own), North African, Spanish, Istrian, Italian, and Roman.

Shallow Zone (0–20 m)

The northeastern coast of Hvar is known for its calm, exceptionally clear sea and varied shallow underwater terrain. Here you’ll find rocky terraces, small reefs, sandy patches, and scattered Posidonia grasslands.

Marine Life (0–20 m)

Common Adriatic species in this zone include:

  • Salema, seabreams, wrasses
  • Octopus, cuttlefish, moray eel
  • Scorpionfish, seahorses
  • Starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers

These sheltered shallows are ideal for snorkeling, beginner divers, and underwater photographers.

Reefs & Caves (15–25 m)

Moving slightly deeper, the terrain becomes more dramatic, transitioning into rocky ridges (reefs) and small underwater caves. Light creates beautiful contrasts over the colourful benthic life.

Typical Species

  • Sponges (yellow and orange)
  • Small gorgonians
  • Sea squirts
  • Lobsters and squat lobsters hidden in crevices
  • Schooling fish like damselfish and small anthias around reef edges

These areas offer excellent conditions for intermediate divers who enjoy exploring natural formations.

Walls & Drop-offs (25–40 m)

At several locations the seabed drops abruptly, forming steep walls covered with vibrant filter-feeders. These vertical faces are among the most visually stunning underwater scenes on Hvar’s northeastern coast.

Marine Life (20–40 m)

  • Gorgonians (Eunicella cavolini, E. singularis)
  • Red and yellow sponges (Axinella spp.)
  • Dead man’s fingers soft corals
  • Anthias (orange reef fish)

Excellent visibility and vertical relief make this zone perfect for experienced divers seeking colourful, dramatic underwater walls.

The northeastern coast of Hvar offers a mix of shallow reefs, caves, and deeper vertical walls—making it one of the most rewarding and diverse diving areas in the region.

Podmorje sjeveroistočne strane otoka Hvara

Plitko područje (0–20 m)

Sjeveroistočna obala Hvara poznata je po mirnom i iznimno bistrom moru te raznolikom plitkom podmorju. Dno se izmjenjuje između kamenih terasa, grebena, pješčanih udolina i livada posidonije.

Živi svijet (0–20 m)

U ovoj zoni najčešće susrećemo:

Mirne pličine idealne su za snorkeling, početničke zarone i podvodnu fotografiju.

Grebenski sustavi i špilje (15–25 m)

Niz dublje, reljef postaje izraženiji – pojavljuju se kameni grebeni, podmorske terase i manje špilje. Kontrasti svjetla i boja posebno dolaze do izražaja u jutarnjim satima.

  • Manje gorgonije
  • Morski tuljci (ascidije)

Zidovi i litice (25–40 m)

Na nekoliko lokacija dno naglo prelazi u strme podmorske zidove i litice. Ovi vertikalni padovi bogati su filtratorima i jednim od najživopisnijih zajednica na Hvaru.

Živi svijet (20–40 m)

  • Gorgonije (ružičaste i žute – Eunicella spp.)
  • Crvene i žute spužve (Axinella spp.)

Izvrsna vidljivost i dramatičan reljef čine ove lokacije savršenima za iskusnije ronioce.

Tiho, bogato i raznoliko jadransko podmorje

Sjeveroistočna obala Hvara nudi spoj plitkih grebena, špilja i dubljih zidova – jedno od najraznovrsnijih i najzanimljivijih ronilačkih područja u ovom dijelu Jadrana.
