    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Mala Smokvica offers a straightforward dive through rocky channels and gentle slopes, typical of the Kornati. You'll find plenty of small Mediterranean species here: moray eels tucked into crevices, ऑक्टोपस trying their best to blend in, and schools of damselfish flitting about. It's a relaxed spot, good for a first dive in the area or a pleasant afternoon exploring. The currents are generally mild, making it suitable for all experience levels looking for a calm dive.
