Coal Wreck is a Primošten boat wreck-and-cliff dive.
Coal Wreck is a Primošten boat wreck-and-cliff dive.
Boat access and the route are normally arranged through a Primošten dive center.
Coal Wreck is a Primošten boat dive off the Grbavac side, where a cliffy reef leads into scattered remains of a coal-carrying wreck. The route is compact and structure-rich rather than sprawling, with overgrown metal, ledges, and fish-holding pockets that make it feel like a short wreck-and-wall circuit. It suits divers who want an easy guided offshore dive with plenty of texture and a bit of history.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
18m - 35m
Depth Note
Wreck pieces are around 18 m; the wall/cliff descends to a maximum depth of about 35 m, with an exploded mine on the bottom.
Typical Conditions
Clear water and an easy boat-led route are the normal expectation; the cliff edge can feel a bit more open than a bay dive.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Max depth is about 35 m; plan gas and profile accordingly, and be cautious around the exploded mine and wreck debris.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; plan it through a local Primošten dive operator.
Legal Notes
Follow the boat briefing and local marine rules; stay within the planned site route.

Scuba Diving
A compact boat-led wreck-and-cliff route with overgrown structure, fish shelters, and a straightforward path through the main features.
Freediving
Only the shallowest approach makes sense for freediving; the main wreck-and-cliff features are better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the boat area and the very shallow top of the route; the wreck and lower structure sit too deep for a useful snorkel run.
