About the project
The SS Lina is a steamship that is over a hundred years old, which after a sea disaster settled on the bottom of the Adriatic near the coast of the island of Cres. Today, the wreck rests at a depth of about 28 to 55 meters and is one of the most recognizable diving facilities in the region.
Despite its popularity among divers, there has not yet been a complete, high-resolution digital documentation of the entire wreck. The aim of the SS Lina – Photogrammetry Project is to create an accurate 3D model of the wreck and professional video documentation, allowing it to preserve its current condition for future generations.
Project objectives
The main objectives of the project include:
Why is what we do important?
Shipwrecks are unique underwater historical sites that are constantly influenced by the marine environment. Corrosion, human activity and natural biological processes cause gradual changes in their structure.
Digital documentation allows you to preserve the image of the wreck at a specific moment in its history, allowing for subsequent comparisons, analyses and the use of the material for educational and popularization purposes.
Participation in the project
The project is aimed at divers interested in underwater documentation, maritime history and the use of modern technologies in wreck exploration. Participants will have the opportunity to gain practical experience related to the planning and implementation of underwater photogrammetric projects on a large, historic shipwreck.
Do you want to arrive early for warm-up dives?
Join us!
From 8 to 13 November, we are conducting the GUE Technical Diver 1 training on site. Although all places on the course are already taken, there is an opportunity to join our dive group and participate in dives on other wrecks in the area.
This is a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with the local conditions, check out the equipment, do a few acclimatization dives and spend more time underwater even before the SS Lina Photogrammetry Project begins.
If you are interested in arriving earlier, please contact us – we will be happy to help you organize additional dives.
Diving logistics will be organized by the Krnicadive diving center.
