Found by Dive Planet in 2011, this large cargo is one of the most intact ships you can visit.
Inside, all the furnishings and objects on board are still in the holds. Its large masts soaring towards the surface are used by us to moor the dinghy. On a decisive and fatal day in 1983, during a storm surge near the Croatian coast, the Indian Mixed Cargo (people/things), loaded with many products, including tree trunks on deck and a bus, took water into the holds for moving the cargo.

Irremediably the ship is called to the waters, but not before floating for several more hours to our coasts where it will sink in perfect sailing trim, whole, with all its cargo that is still in place today. In 2011 the staff of the Dive Planet, led by Steve and Beppe, found the wreck, and were the first to go down and see it after the sinking.
