Two Towers - Istria Peninsula

Two Towers, off Istria, makes for a solid, easy dive. It’s essentially two rock pinnacles, appropriately named, rising from the seabed. You’ll spend your time between them, often spotting small Mediterranean wrasse darting between the rocks, maybe an octopus tucked into a crevice if you have a keen eye. It’s a gentle introduction to Croatian diving, never deeper than 17 metres, making it perfect for beginners or those looking for a relaxed afternoon dip. We’d suggest going early to catch the best light filtering down between the towers.
