Boat dive
Roman roof tiles, imbrices and tegulae, forming a small artificial reef
About the site
A pile of ceramic tiles, specifically imbrices and tegulae, which in Roman times were roofing materials, lies at a depth of roughly 20 meters.
They are mostly stuck to each other and to the rocks below them, thus forming a small artificial reef.
Tegule is a short boat ride from our center in Šimuni. You descend onto the pile of ceramic tiles at roughly 20 metres, and from there the profile runs between 18 and 30 metres, so the dive stays well inside recreational limits.
The tiles are mostly stuck to each other and to the rocks below them, so they form a small artificial reef. That shapes the dive: you stay with the structure and look at it closely, instead of swimming out over open seabed. An average dive lasts about 45 minutes.
The minimum category is Open Water and there are no special requirements, so the site is open to divers with an entry-level certification.
It is a sensible first dive of a holiday on Pag: the depth is moderate, the reference is easy to follow, and the dive has a clear focus instead of an open plan. Divers with an interest in archaeology get a Roman find they can look at from close up, since the imbrices and tegulae were roofing materials in Roman times.
