Baron Gautsch
Prvoga svjetskog rata, samo je jedna u nizu ronilačkih atrakcija. Na
brodu se još nalazi veliki top s kompletnom mehanikom za pokretanje
te protuzrakoplovni mitraljezi i torpedne cijevi. Blizu je i Pirussi
Mali gdje su velike stijene u obliku blokova na pet metara dubine, s
iznimnim bogatstvom flore i faune, iznimno zanimljive ljubiteljima
podvodne fotografije. Olupina broda Baron Gautsch, putničkoga broda
Austro-Ugarske Monarhije nazvanoga „jadranskim malim Titanikom“,
koji je 13. kolovoza 1914. godine naišao na morsku minu i potonuo u
nepunih 10 minuta, nezaobilazna je ronilačka stanica. U cijeloj ovoj
avanturi posebno upečatljivo je i noćno ronjenje na obližnjem „Otoku
rakova“ sa svom raskoši morskoga svijeta. Šesti dan programom je
predviđen zaron u blizini otočja Brijuni i posjet olupini broda Istra
potopljenog za vrijeme II. svjetskoga rata. Druga ronilačka ruta vodi na
obližnju lokaciju „new reef“. Širok i raznolik vrh sike, koji počinje na
6 m, stupnjevito se spušta na dubinu od 32 metra i prava je ronilačka
pustolovina. Nije li Jadran čarobno mjesto?
in the middle of the island. There are as many as four diving locations
near the Island of St Ivan. The wreck of an Italian torpedo vessel, sunk
in a naval battle during World War I, when the ship was halved, is
just one of the many diving attractions. A large cannon with its entire
propelling mechanism, as well as heavy anti-aircraft machine-guns
and torpedo pipes are still on board. Not far from it there is Pirussi
Mali, with large rocks in the shape of blocks at a depth of five meters.
There is an extraordinary amount of flora and fauna here, which is
extremely interesting for fans of underwater photography. The wreck
of the ship the Baron Gautsch, an Austro-Hungarian passenger ship
called “the little Titanic of the Adriatic”, which ran into a mine on
the 13th August 1914 and sank in 10 minutes, is a must for divers. An
especially impressive experience in this entire adventure is night
diving at the nearby “crab island” with its abundance of marine life.
On day six, the program offers a dive near the islands of Brijuni and
a visit to the wreck of the ship “Istria”, which was sunk during World
War II. The second diving route takes divers to the nearby “new reef”
location. The wide and diverse top of the rock called “sika”, which
starts at a depth of 6 meters, gradually descends to a depth of 32
meters and is a real diving adventure. Isn’t the Adriatic a truly magical
place?
