Scuba diving at Borovnik Wall in Kornati Islands
Back

Borovnik Wall

GREAT
Kornati IslandsBoat
About This Site
Borovnik is one of the nine officially designated diving zones of Kornati National Park and a classic steep gorgonian wall on the seaward crown of the archipelago. The dive drops down the open-Adriatic (southwest) face of Borovnik islet, part of the famous Kornati Cliffs, where the rock falls away in a near-vertical drop-off riddled with cracks, holes and small caverns. Gorgonian sea fans, sponges and dense fish life cloak the wall, which plunges well past the recreational range toward 60 m and beyond, though diving is held to the park's 40 m cap. It is a rewarding intermediate wall dive for divers comfortable with depth and occasional current.

  • Rain expected - bacteria levels may increase

The wall sits on the southwest, seaward face of Borovnik, an outer-crown island, so it looks straight into the open Adriatic and takes swell across the whole S-through-W quarter, with the largest seas running in from the SSW-SW-W where the water is fully open. Jugo (Sirocco) driving up the Adriatic's long SE-NW axis is the main wave-maker, but its seas reach the wall from the S and SSE rather than the SE proper, since Mana islet about a mile to the southeast blunts that sector. The outer-crown chain continuing toward Levrnaka partly shadows the WNW-NW window, while the body of Borovnik and the inner Kornati chain (Kornat to the northeast) block the landward N-through-E sectors; the gusty Bura from the NE blows offshore here and is largely shielded.
