Why dive here
With 91+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Stuka / Junkers Ju 87 offers some of Kornati Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 14-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
Dropping onto the Stuka in the Kornati Islands feels like stepping into a time capsule. The Junkers Ju 87 itself is largely intact, resting on the seabed, a surprisingly stark silhouette against the blue. We often find pearl-side schooling around the tail section, and those distinctive wings offer plenty of nooks for dwarf bobtail squid to hide, if you have a keen eye. Exploring the cockpit area, you might spot a curious brown comber darting between the gauges, or even a coiled octopus tucked away. It’s a compelling piece of history underwater, best suited for those who appreciate wreck diving with a side of macro discovery.
