Omiš and the rest of its Riviera boast some of the most amazing beaches and coves in Dalmatia, and the possibilities it offers for scuba diving and exploring the underwater world are among the best on the Adriatic. Omiš simply has it all – from shallow underwater plains accessible to all, to deep and hidden walls and cliffs to be explored only by the most experienced divers. Oh, yes, we forgot to mention one thing. At the depth of only 3 meters not far from the central town beach you can find a sunken wreck of a World War II ship. And you know what they say – where there’s a shipwreck, hidden treasure can’t be that far either… More experienced divers will no doubt be amazed by the cove of Vruja, which represents one of the best scuba diving sites in Croatia. This is a location of a large freshwater source and is, due to the mixing of fresh and sea water, exceptionally rich in fish and as such one of the most popular dive-in locations in Croatia among spear fishermen. At the location of Vruja dives are possible to the depth of over 100 meters, whereas the sea bottom is almost completely unexplored since none of the many diving expeditions were able to determine the exact depth of the freshwater source of Vruja, after which the entire cove was named. But beware – this is not to be taken as a challenge! Diving at such depths is an extremely dangerous sport and recreational dives of this type are allowed only under expert guidance. If you are, nevertheless, bold enough and do find yourself in the blue depths of the Vruja cove, keep your eyes wide open. According to a local legend, at the very bottom of the Vruja, right next to the great freshwater source, you’ll find an ancient sunken city full of treasures and secrets just waiting to be discovered.
