Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Porer Reef offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest reef diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Porer Reef is a solid choice for a relaxed dive off the Istrian coast, especially if you’re newer to the sport. Dropping to a gentle 19 meters, it's an easy drift around the rocky contours. You'll often spot scorpionfish tucked into crevices and schools of small bream patrolling the rock faces. We’ve found it's a great spot to get comfortable with your buoyancy, with plenty of nooks to peek into. Visibility here can vary with the season, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant potter.
