About This Dive Spot
The S/S Gilda was a cargo ship transporting magnesite and equipment from Triest when it ran aground and struck a mine on June 23, 1915, approximately 3.5 nautical miles WNW of Punta Salvore, Croatia. The vessel sank rapidly within three minutes, but fortunately, there were no casualties. The wreck lies at a depth of 26 meters and is divided into two sections, which are located 48 meters apart. Divers can observe schools of sardines, mackerels, and sea breams in the vicinity, while large conger eels can be found hiding within the wreck. On the sandy bottom, divers may also encounter gunards and torpedo electric rays.
