Brücke - Istria Peninsula

Two Mile Reef is a solid dive, a good way to spend a morning when conditions are right. You’ll typically find a gentle drift here, making it a nice easy cruise over the reef. We’ve seen a decent variety of the usual suspects, like Scorpionfish tucked into the coral, along with Redtail Scad schooling above. Keep an eye out for larger visitors too, we’ve spotted Bull Sharks cruising by and even Leatherback and Loggerhead turtles on occasion. It’s a comfortable dive, good for divers who want to explore without a lot of fuss.
