The maim Wrack sites of Diving Center Pongo are:
1. SWEET WRACK
It was a Romanian transport ship hit by torpedo in SWW and it sank on 20 m. and carried chocolate and biscuits so we call it the ''Sweet Wrack''.
2. COAL WRACK
Wrack on depth from 15 to 30m. It was a ship caring coal so you can see just peace's of deck and masts out of the coal. very interesting because of huge quantities of fish and different life around it.
3. TORPEDO DIVE
There is also a huge, 6 m torpedo unexploded on beautiful diving spot because of constellation of big rocks between which you can peed and find lots of life.
4. ANCHOR DIVE
On Anchor dive you will see old anchors one 500 kg and other 200 kg stucked on to cliff. Also you will se on most of our dives as on this one the peace's of Greek and Roman Anforas.
5. NINUCI
For technical divers there is a great Ninuci on 85 m turned so it is easy to enter. There are two more wracks all longer than 70m.
6. FRANCESCA DI RIMINI
We also make excursions to a famous wrack Francesca di Riminy (55 m ship)
Excursions are organized for groups over 6 persons and are arranged as a day trip. Francesca was sank by english torpedo boats during SWW, it was caring huge quantities of grenades, still visible on each dive. Dive is only for advanced divers for its depth is from 35 to 45m. Worth a trip.

CURRENTS Sometimes little currant on depth down to 5 m.
SPECIAL PERMITS No special permits needed
TYPE OF DIVE 2 world war cargo wrack
RECOMMENDATION Very nice dive interesting for the wrack is scattered on three different locations.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DIVE
Wrack is located near the island of M.Smokvica so there is no need to dive in to blue. Dive starts form 3m depth. From there you come on the first part of the wrack which is a stern of the ship. Notice a steering wheel still attached on its original place. Circling the wrack is usually a school of fish and on occasion a few octopuses. After circling around the wrack you continue swimming for 3 min and come on the second part of the wrack which is the deck or the ship which flew of during the explosion of the torpedo which sank it. Here you will for sure find a few Scorpion fish in the sand around the wrack. After swimming over the wrack you will come on the third part, which is already on 9 m depth, this is a usual hide out for octopuses.
TIPS & TRICKS
This ship was sank by the torpedo during 2 world war and it carried Rumanian flag. By the legend it was carrying chocolate and biscuits so it got named Sweet wrack. Especially nice during the night dive, when you can see Jon Dory's and Langouste.

TYPE OF DIVE 2 world war cargo wrack
RECOMMENDATION one of greatest wracks in Adriatic
DESCRIPTION OF THE DIVE
There is a special underwater buoy on 3 meters depth connected all the way down to the stern of the wrack. This helps in orientation and safety of the dive. Francesca leis on the bottom with the deck up, so it looks like it is still sailing on. Her cargo holds are full of 105 mm grenades where you can find few big forkbeards and congers. On the deck is lots of deferent fish life and on many occasions you can find bigger fish circling the wrack, yellow tails and common dentex. Front mast of Francesca is still standing directly toward the surface and it makes a great image looking from underneath. Grenades are not active but by no way think to touch them
TIPS & TRICKS
Italian 55 m. long and 10 m. wide ship with German crew, Francesca di Rimini was sank in 1944 by English torpedo boats during the night attack. There is a little mystery about the events that happened on that night, you can read a story about it on a page ...This wrack is protected by law, so don't try to take any peace's up to the surface.
POSSIBLE TO SEE
Dentex, brown meage, scorpion fish, white seabreams, different corals, colorful algae, schools of fish, congers and forkbeards.
