Zenta Wreck
Also known as: SMS Zenta
Best time to dive
Season varies - confirm locally
Certification & difficulty
Technical - advanced conditions (currents/depth); dive within your training.
Snorkelling
Not a snorkel site - No - far offshore and at extreme depth, not snorkelable
Safety notes
Extreme depth requiring trimix/technical certification (narcosis and decompression risk), remote open-sea location far from shore demanding full technical gas logistics and boat support, long multi-dive commitment to explore the site; divers are responsible for preparing their own gas mix (helium/oxygen can be sourced via a local Messer supplier near Bar)
Permits & fees
No specific dive permit is documented for the Zenta wreck; Montenegro has not implemented formal legal protection or permit enforcement for most WWI/WWII wrecks (as of a 2019 study, only one 15th-century wreck in the Bay of Kotor had achieved legal protected status), though LabMA/local bodies have advocated adopting UNESCO 2001 Underwater Cultural Heritage Convention provisions; arrange trips directly with the dive operator
Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
