    The TA 36 wreck off the Istria Peninsula offers a dive that’s both a history lesson and a chance to see how nature reclaims its own. This former torpedo boat lies mostly intact, an easy penetration for those with the right training, and its guns are still surprisingly present. We’ve found barracuda often school here, drifting over the deck, and the stern section holds some decent scorpionfish trying their best to blend in. It’s a solid wreck dive, rewarding for those who appreciate military history and enjoy seeing larger fish hanging around.
