Why dive here
With 91+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Gorgonia cliff offers some of Kornati Islands's richest wall diving. Water ranges 14-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Diving the Gorgonia cliff in the Kornati Islands means hugging a vertical wall that drops into the blue. It’s a classic Mediterranean wall dive, giving you a chance to spot the gorgonian corals, some red, others yellow, clinging to the rock face. We think it’s a good choice for divers who appreciate the drama of a sheer drop and the macro life found within the wall's crevices, rather than big pelagics. Currents here can sometimes pick up, so keep an eye on the conditions.
