Why dive here
With 91+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles and cuttlefish - Stuka (Wreck) offers some of Kornati Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 14-26°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Stuka wreck in the Kornati Islands is a surprisingly intimate dive, perfect if you’re looking for a relatively easy wreck experience. Sitting upright at 30 metres, the plane is largely intact, with its wings still spread, giving you a real sense of what it once was. You'll find scorpionfish tucked into crevices and schools of small fish darting through the fuselage, making it feel less like a somber relic and more like a living reef. It's a straightforward dive, well-suited for newer wreck enthusiasts, offering a good opportunity to practice buoyancy without feeling overwhelmed.
