    The Cesare Rosarol wreck in Istria is a cargo ship sitting upright on a sandy bottom. We often find large schools of sardines moving around the structure, with scorpionfish hiding on the deck. It's a fairly straightforward dive, good for newer wreck divers looking to explore an intact vessel without deep current challenges. Visibility can drop in late summer, but usually, it's clear enough to appreciate the scale of the ship.
