Built in 1956 in the Pula-based shipyard of Uljanik as part of Tito’s fleet, it was designed to function as a command ship of the Yugoslav Navy. The hull is made of steel, whilst the decks are of aluminium. It is the first deliberately sunk ship in Croatia with the max depth of 34m.
KOLUMBARICE OR KAP KAMENJAK CAVES ARE SITUATED IN PARK OF NATURE KAMENJAK. CAVES ON THE DEPTH: 3 – 8m; MAX DEPTH: 18m; TRANSFER FROM ORCA DIVING CENTER IS NEAR 45min.
Cesare Rossarol is the Italian destroyer was built in Genoa in 1913, launched one year later, and met its fate in 1918. When the end of the war was declared, the ship left Pula-Pola for Rijeka.Sea depth: 48-50 mGreatest depth: 50/48 mSmallest depth: 42/40 mLength: 40/25 mWidth: 8/8 m
This is a beautiful position with a very long and various wall which spreads over 200 meters. During the diving, which as you wish may be on depth to 20 meters or more, we are going around a few underwater capes with no end to holes and cliffs. Each of these is rich in colours and different species.
It is suitable for orientation exercises and using of compass. We dive by the mild rocky slope, which ends in the sand on the depth of 20 meters.
Situated below Hotel Park Plaza Histria, “Yacht“ Bar and Restaurant, directly below the ORCA Diving Center . Depth 2-8 m/ 6- 25 ft. Rowing Boat Wreck in shallow part of reef, great for night dive.
The dive begins on a shallow plateau at a depth of 5m and goes down slightly to the southwest until it reaches a wall that gently drops to 30m of depth, which we follow on its right side. The slope extends throughout the south side of the Brijuni Islands, which are decorated with numerous pinnacles.
This is the dive with by far the most underwater flora and fauna, accessible to all diving categories. We begin by descending to a depth of 10 m and then we dive within the same depth for the first few minutes on the southern side of the island.
A tugboat sunk in the 1960s was used for manoeuvring larger ships in the harbour. It’s 15m long so there is no possibility of going inside the wreck.
Although currents are not always strong here, divers go in one direction only – with the current – to ensure easier and more enjoyable diving. This is an interesting site because dives are made along walls and rocks forming 2 – 3 cascades, at a depth of 15 m, 18-20 m, and below 20 m.
The Italian merchant steamship “Varese“ sank in 1915 while transporting cargo from Trieste to Tunis. Because of bad weather, the captain decided to take refuge in the port of Pula. Heading towards the city, ship struck a mine which destroyed the prow, the ship sinking in the place where it is today.
An inevitable diving location on the Istrian peninsula. The dive begins in the northern part of the island. We dive along a sandy slope towards the first tunnel through which we will each pass individually. Afterwards, we soon reach the next tunnel through which we dive in pairs.
We dive along the west side of the Verudela peninsula. The reef is located near the anchorage site and follows the coast in parallel. We dive right of the wall, which drops steeply up to 25 m deep.
The south-east side of Fratarski island hides a wonderful dive location suitable for all levels of diving experience. It starts with a slowly descending bottom which quickly opens up to a vertical reef filled with holes and caverns of all sizes. The maximum depth is around 25 meters.
The vertical wall descending from 10 – 14 m to 28 m is full of holes and small caverns of various sizes that can easily be inspected without going into them. Rammed into the rock at a depth of 26 m, there is a ship´s mast with a few remains of the ship still visible.
