The former admiral ship Vis from the era of the Yugoslav Navy, on which the president of the former Yugoslavia Josip Broz Tito often sailed, after sinking off the western coast of the southernmost part of Istria, Kamenjak, was turned into a unique diving attraction. The first intentionally sunk ship Vis, named after the Dalmatian island, is the first intentionally sunk ship in Croatia. It lies upright under the sea, in the most attractive position for diving, and is located south of Polje cove, near the small cove of Plovanija, with the bow facing north, at a distance of about 250 meters from the shore and a depth of 32 meters.
The passenger military ship, weighing 662 tons, 57 long and almost 9 meters wide, the pride of Tito's war fleet, was built in Uljanik in Pula in 1956.
