Paragliding and diving on the island of Vis
If you are a type of person who is eager for sport events
and adrenalin shots, people from the island of Vis, besides rich historical
inheritance and exquisite natural beauty, have prepared enough thrill for your
vacation to be fulfilled. That kind of excitement is provided by clubs from Vis
specialized in, for example, paragliding and diving. In the Vis sea basin there are six sunken ships from
different historic periods, for the ancient times to the II World War.
Accompanied by professional experienced diving instructors one can see sunken
boats, dive among red and yellow gorgoneia, discover the secrets of ancient
wrecks and get to know numerous caves. Blue cave is the most beautiful one and
is often called the pearl of the Adriatic with its light effects and beautiful blue
and silver colors. On the island of Vis there is 250 flying days around the
year because of the mild Mediterranean climate and natural formation of the
mountains which makes the island a perfect location for paragliding. Once you reach heights, view is unbelievable and the flight
can last for hours. Gliding over the crystal blue sea, natural formations of
the island rocky coastlines, secluded beaches, natural vegetation and vineyards
that spread for miles are breath taking, something that will remain in your
memory forever. There are seven starting positions on the island from all
directions so there is not so called "wrong starting point" unless
wind is so strong that create dangerous conditions. But strong wind is unlikely
to appear because the wind arriving from Finland through Velebit mountains lost
strength and created perfect conditions for the paragliding on the island of
Vis. Paragliding is not an easy sport but local professional
paragliders whit years of experience in flying and knowledge about the island
will show you many interesting points. Trip and location will be determinate by
the level of the experience of the pilot. For those with no experience in
flying and paragliding's family, we have professional instructors who will take
them above high in the sky and will have unforgettable panoramic view of the
city and its beautiful surroundings.
