    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Arta Vala offers a straightforward dive in the Kornati Islands. We've found the rock formations here interesting, with a gentle slope that makes it suitable for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed exploration. Expect to see some smaller Mediterranean fish species darting between the rocks, along with the occasional nudibranch if you're keeping a keen eye out. It's a pleasant enough spot for a second dive of the day.
