Diving Lastovo - Veli Lagoon Wreck

Site Overview

Lastovo - Veli Lagoon Wreck is a wreck dive site in Southern Dalmatia - Dubrovnik & Peljesac, Croatia, set in the clear, fish-rich waters of the Adriatic Sea. The Veli Lagoon wreck is a small sunken vessel at 15-20 m in the Lastovo lagoon. Frogfish and seahorses are associated with the structure, a macro highlight. Its shallow depth makes it accessible to Open Water divers. Visibility is usually good, and the sheltered lagoon is calm. The remote island keeps it uncrowded. It is a gentle, characterful Lastovo dive. Conditions are typical of the Croatian coast: visibility generally runs from 12 to 30 metres, the current is low and the water temperature ranges between 15 and 26 degrees Celsius depending on season and depth. The marine life is classic Adriatic, centred on long-snouted seahorse, common octopus, small red scorpionfish, with the full community described below for those planning a dive. Because of its beginner rating and the need for Open Water certification, Lastovo - Veli Lagoon Wreck is best approached with the right thermal protection and, where relevant, wreck or deep training. It is a representative example of why Croatian diving, with its wrecks, walls, caves and gorgonian forests, attracts divers who want history and Mediterranean life in equal measure.
