The Coal Wreck is an artificial reef located between Split and Brač, resting on the seabed at depths between 18 and 35 metres. This wreck site is accessed by boat and features mild currents with visibility typically ranging from 15 to 30 metres. Divers should be aware of the overhead environment within the structure, which necessitates the use of a torch. Given the depth, divers must monitor for nitrogen narcosis and manage decompression limits. Water temperatures fluctuate between 14C and 19C, making a 7mm wetsuit or drysuit advisable for comfort during the average 40-minute dive. Equipment rental and air fills are available locally.
