About B-17 (Wreck)

B-17 (Wreck) is a deep, largely intact WWII bomber off Vis that is best approached as a controlled technical wreck dive. The site is boat accessed, with a shotline approach and a clear wreck profile on sandy bottom, so orientation is straightforward once you are down. The real planning load is depth, gas management, and decompression discipline rather than navigation, with light but variable current around some exits. It suits teams that want a precise trimix profile, stable buoyancy, and a conservative ascent.
