This dive site is located around the islet of the Porer lighthouse at the southern tip of Istria. It is famous for its incredible underwater topography, featuring a dramatic vertical wall dropping to over 30m, canyons, and several passages. The exposed location often means currents, which in turn attract a high density and variety of fish.
