Upside-down WWII wreck on the Piran-Strunjan route
Upside-down WWII wreck on the Piran-Strunjan route
Best run with a local boat operator and an experienced wreck guide.
Kec Wreck is an upside-down WWII landing craft on the Piran-Strunjan route, built for experienced wreck divers who want a compact penetration dive. The wreck is compact but interesting, with the opening sequence and silt management doing most of the work underwater. It is a good choice when you want a short boat dive with a distinct wreck shape, fish shelter, and a stronger skill requirement than the depth alone suggests.
