Split WWI wreck dive off Cape Savudrija.
Guide-led boat support is the normal access path.
Historic WWI wreck near Cape Savudrija with a split bow-and-hull layout on an exposed open-sea bottom. Divers normally reach it by guided boat and descend on a line, then work a deep wreck profile where current and visibility can change with sea state. Expect an advanced wreck dive that rewards disciplined buoyancy, steady navigation, and a conservative plan around weather windows.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
