FAQ
What certification do I need to dive the Kornati Islands?
Open Water divers can enjoy many sites along the shallower reef areas at 12 to 20 metres. The dramatic wall dives that Kornati is famous for descend to 60 metres and beyond, requiring Advanced Open Water certification for explorations to 30 metres and technical certifications for deeper excursions. A special permit is required to dive in the national park.
When is the best time to dive the Kornati Islands?
The optimal season runs from May to October, with June through September offering the best combination of warm water at 20 to 25 degrees, excellent visibility of 20 to 30 metres, and calm sea conditions. The national park limits visitor numbers, so the underwater environment remains pristine throughout the season.
How do I arrange diving in Kornati National Park?
Diving requires a permit from the national park authority, which is typically arranged through dive centres based in Murter, Vodice, or Sibenik on the mainland. The boat ride to the outer islands takes 45 minutes to an hour. Multi-day liveaboard trips are available for comprehensive exploration of the archipelago, and these offer access to the most remote and spectacular sites.
