    Kaprije offers a straightforward dive for beginners in the Kornati Islands. We found a gentle slope down to 26 metres, with a decent spread of Mediterranean reef fish milling about. It's a relaxed spot, good for a first taste of the Adriatic or for those looking for a calm, easy-going afternoon dive. Expect to see typical local species, nothing too dramatic, but always pleasant.
