Best for advanced divers, 32-40m, boat entry, mild current.
The Varese is a wreck site located 25 kilometres off the coast of Pula, Croatia. Resting at depths between 32 and 40 metres, this site is strictly for advanced divers. The vessel serves as an artificial reef, with sponges and gorgonians colonising the hull. Divers may encounter scorpionfish, conger eels, and snowflake morays within the wreckage, while saddled seabream and yellowtail damselfish inhabit the surrounding water column. California spiny lobster are also found in the shadows. Conditions include mild currents and variable visibility that can drop to zero. Due to the depth and potential for low visibility, divers must maintain excellent buoyancy control and carry a torch and surface marker buoy.
