ronilački klub Ugljan - Kornati Islands
We've had some really chilled dives out near Ugljan, even if it's not the flashiest spot in the Kornati. It's the kind of dive where you can relax and just enjoy being in the water, looking for the smaller things. We often spot variable loggerhead sponges and the delicate sunset cup corals clinging to the rock, with plenty of damsel fish flitting about. Keep an eye out for brown skates on the sandy patches, and if you’re lucky, a blackspotted smoothhound might cruise past. It's a nice easy dive, probably best for those who appreciate a slower pace rather than chasing big pelagics.
