Verudela peninsula reef route with mini-walls
Hippocampus House Reef 2 is a western Verudela peninsula reef dive in Pula, Croatia. The route starts on the reef to the left and follows a series of mini-walls onto a sloping reef, with irregular rock and hole structure that keeps the dive interesting. It suits intermediate scuba divers who like a route-style shore dive with strong marine-life potential rather than a flat sandbed swim.

Snorkeling can work near the shallow reef edge on calm days, but the deeper route rewards scuba more.
