Hausriff Cres

★★★★☆ (6,038)

The overgrown rock formation in front of the base stretches from 5 m to a depth of 37 m. Excellent practice site for students in the closed off area. Can be dived until 11:15 in high season for safety reasons, as there is increased boat traffic (outside the barrier) after this time.

Monkfish, golden oarfish, bream, scorpion fish, petrale, herring king, lobster, gurnard, octopus, conger and with a little more luck seahorses & rays.
