Boat wreck dive on a preserved Zanjice Bay patrol ship.
Boat wreck dive on a preserved Zanjice Bay patrol ship.
Boat logistics and wreck-depth planning make a licensed operator the simplest default for this site.
Patrol Ship Pbr 512 is a well-preserved wreck in Zanjice Bay that mixes easy navigation with the drama of a long military hull lying on sand. The deck sits shallower than the main body, so the dive stays readable and photogenic while still offering wreck detail, marine growth, and a clean exterior circuit. It is a strong boat dive for divers who want good visibility, light current, and a site that can work across a broad skill range with the right brief.

Very good visibility, negligible current, and a wreck sitting on sandy bottom in Zanjice Bay. The site is popular in summer, but the water column is usually calm enough for clean exterior dives.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep depth discipline and buoyancy tight on the wreck, and stay aware of boat traffic in the bay. The site is straightforward for a guided wreck dive, but it is still a mid-depth target.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only from the Herceg Novi / Zanjice side. Plan it with a local operator rather than as a self-guided shore entry.
Legal Notes
Follow the local dive-club briefing and any bay navigation rules. This is a managed boat wreck dive, not an independent shore access site.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
