Dive Spot Guide•
Hippocampus House Reef 1
Stoja house reef with steep rocky relief.
Campsite shore access, then a rocky reef with crevices and canyon-like cuts that favors calm, controlled dives.
About Hippocampus House Reef 1
House-reef shore dive from the Stoja campsite near Pula with a straightforward entry and a steep rocky profile. A few fin kicks from shore, the reef turns into irregular rock, crevices, and canyon-like cuts that reward steady buoyancy and slow scanning. It suits relaxed repeat dives and beginner progression, but the terrain stays more interesting than a flat reef walk.
