About This Dive Spot
The Varese, an Italian merchant steamship, sank in 1915 while en route from Trieste to Tunis. Seeking shelter from inclement weather, the captain attempted to enter the port of Pula but struck a mine, resulting in the destruction of the prow and subsequent sinking at its current location. Divers can explore the wreck, which is home to various marine life, including Scorpion fishes, Conger eels, lobsters, and schools of breams along with other smaller fish species.
