We invite you to try the adventure and to discover the sea bottom of the Sibenik area, which, along with the various and preserved plant and animal world abounds with a multitude of caves, walls, hydro-archaeology attractions and shipwrecks. This area offers a synthesis of the northern and the southern underwater worlds of the Adriatic Sea: clear seas, with cliffs and sunken reefs, caves and deep depressions concealing many still undiscovered wrecks. Diving is possible year round due to pleasant sea temperatures, especially in the period between May and November.

Diving zone near Zaton:
The Kornati area is virtually inexhaustible in its variety of locations offering quite specific types of underwater relief: steep walls teeming with life, underwater caves, crevices and passages covering a large area of northern Dalmatia. Diving centres located on the mainland charge higher costs for
accessing diving locations, but their position ensures that they also attract a greater number of divers.
Starting from the Sibenik area, where the Kornati archipelago teems with many diverse varieties of marine life and is so easily accessible to diving centres situated along the main belt on land (Vodice, Murter, Sibenik Primosten), and all the way to the area of the large islands of central Dalmatia, this zone represents a true threshold to the Adriatic.
