About this site
U Vapuri is a wreck lying at about 30 metres in front of the village of Riaci. It sits on pale sand and can be seen clearly from the surface in the clear water.
Little is known about the ship, and only the metal skeleton remains, with plates rising no more than 50 to 60 cm from the bottom. That low profile makes the wreck hard to find with a sounder. The dive is still pleasant, as groupers, large octopuses and sometimes a triggerfish hide among the plates.
