Lina is a boat-only Cres wreck with an upright profile, a clear line route, and a deeper stern that suits careful advanced divers.
About Lina (Wreck)
Lina is a classic Cres wreck dive for advanced and technical-minded divers: a long iron cargo ship resting upright off the island, reached by boat and followed down a line into milky Adriatic water. The upper structure gives a readable route, while the deeper stern and cooler water reward disciplined buoyancy, gas planning, and a calm pace. It is a historic wreck rather than a reef drift, best when you want a focused boat dive with wreck shape, fish life, and some penetration options.
