Conger eels up to 2 metres inhabit the deeper sections of Sazan's larger wrecks, their pale bodies visible in torch beams illuminating bilge spaces and under-deck voids. Congers are solitary and highly territorial, occupying the same den site for years and only leaving to spawn once in their lifetime — a migratory journey from which they do not return. Their calm, slow movements and impressive size make them one of the most compelling wreck wildlife encounters in the Adriatic.
