Best for expert divers, 70-72m, boat entry, mild current.
The B-17G Flying Fortress wreck near Vis Town is a technical dive site resting on the seabed at depths between 70 and 72 metres. The aircraft remains largely intact, allowing divers to identify the fuselage, wings, and gun turrets. Visibility typically ranges from 25 to 40 metres, providing clear views of the structure. Due to the extreme depth, this site is reserved for expert divers with appropriate gas planning and decompression experience. Access is strictly by boat, and divers must manage mild currents and potential boat traffic overhead. A well-deployed DSMB is essential for safe ascent, and all dive logistics must be coordinated with an operator prior to departure.
