Best for intermediate divers, 8-40m, boat entry, strong current.
Porer Island, located off the southern tip of Pula, offers a challenging reef and wall dive ranging from 8 to 40 metres. The site is defined by its exposure to strong currents and a mix of cold and warm water, with temperatures fluctuating between 11 and 18 degrees Celsius. Divers encounter a wall that drops significantly, requiring careful buoyancy control and awareness of potential boat traffic. Due to the strong currents and surf conditions at the shore, boat access is mandatory for all entries. The site is suitable for intermediate divers who can manage drift conditions and variable currents.

Time your descent around slack water if possible, as the current at Porer can run hard with little warning and the wall gives limited shelter. Night diving here is productive for lobster and octopus, but brief your boat cover thoroughly given the site's exposure to swell and boat traffic.
