Tresorfabrik - Istria Peninsula

Dog Rocks 3, off Bimini, is a good spot if you’re keen on seeing larger pelagic species. It’s essentially a rocky outcrop, which often attracts schools of Atlantic bonito, tuna, and barracuda patrolling the deeper water. We've found it’s a decent drift, making it suitable for divers comfortable with currents and looking for open-ocean encounters rather than complex reef structures. It's a dive for those hoping to spot something big passing through.
