Tramonto

Kornati Islands, Croatia

The team at Tramonto are our kind of people. They understand what makes a dive trip truly special, and it’s not just about the sites (though the Kornati National Park delivers there, with over 100 spots within easy reach). It’s the whole vibe. We love their direct-to-boat setup in Murter; no schlepping gear, just a quick walk from the centre’s door onto one of their two custom-built dive boats. What really sets Tramonto apart, for us, is their approach to the Kornati Islands. While many centres hit the same well-trodden paths, Tramonto often finds those quieter corners. We’ve had dives where we felt like we were the only divers for miles, drifting along walls draped in red gorgonians, watching conger eels peek from crevices. Their technical diving options are a serious draw too, opening up deeper wrecks and caves that most recreational divers only dream about. If you’re looking to push your limits, or just want a truly personalised experience rather than a cattle boat, these are your people. Early morning departures often mean calmer seas and better chances of seeing the bigger pelagics before the day boats arrive.
