Elhawi Star is a wreck located 500 metres off the coast of Krk Island, Croatia. Resting at depths between 26 and 42 metres, this site is reserved for advanced divers due to its deep profile and decompression requirements. The wreck presents an overhead environment that necessitates precise buoyancy control and the use of torches. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres, though it may decrease significantly inside the structure. A mild current is common, but divers must remain vigilant regarding boat traffic upon surfacing. Access is strictly by boat, and proper gas planning is essential for all dives at this depth.
