About Porer Reef

Porer Reef is a boat-access plateau reef off Rovinj with terraced depth bands and strong fish life. It is a more experienced-diver site than a sheltered bay reef, with rays and catsharks regularly reported around the reef. Only a few diving centres run it, so the site keeps a quiet, boat-based feel and rewards conservative buoy planning in open-sea conditions.
