Why dive here
With 46+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, sea turtles and cuttlefish - RINGO II offers some of Istria Peninsula's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 12-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Ringo II, a fishing vessel built in 1988, sits upright on the seabed at 48 meters, having gone down after a collision back in 2000. It’s a solid dive for experienced wreck enthusiasts, a good opportunity to get some deeper diving in. We usually find schools of small fish hanging around the superstructure, and octopuses often peek out from nooks and crannies. The wheelhouse is still largely intact, which makes for some interesting swim-throughs if you're comfortable with overhead environments. It’s a straightforward wreck to navigate, even with the depth, making it a good choice for those looking to practice their deep diving skills on a defined target.
