Best for advanced divers, 45-66m, boat entry, strong current.
The Ursus is a deep wreck dive located off Vis Town, Croatia, resting at depths between 45 and 66 metres. This technical site requires boat access and is suited for advanced divers due to the significant depth and strong currents. Divers should maintain strict buoyancy control to navigate the wreck structure and mitigate entanglement risks. Water temperatures range from 14C to 20C, necessitating appropriate thermal protection such as a drysuit or thick wetsuit. Given the challenging conditions and depth, monitoring dive profiles and coordinating with charter operators for slack water timing is essential for a safe experience.

Water temperature drops to 14C at depth even in warmer months, so a drysuit or a thick wetsuit with undergarment is worth the extra preparation. Check current conditions with the charter operator before descending, as timing your drop to coincide with slack water will significantly improve both safety and bottom time.
