Scuba diving at Kasela in Kornati Islands

About This Site
A classic Kornati drop-off about 11 nautical miles out from Murter, Kasela is a staple of National Park diving itineraries. Divers descend a wall on the left shoulder onto a series of tiered hills and ridges, with a ridge branching off around 20 m that leads on to gorgonian-covered hills. The reward is a rich, photogenic underwater landscape with dense gorgonian colonies from roughly 35 m down, set against the dramatic seaward cliffs of the outer Kornati islands.

Warnings for today

None

Kasela sits on the seaward shoulder of an outer Kornati island, so its drop-off faces the open Adriatic to the southwest and is fully exposed to S, SSW and SW swell. The Jugo (Sirocco), blowing up the Adriatic's long SE axis, builds the largest, longest waves here and is the main reason dives are cancelled. The northeast sectors are sheltered behind the island chain, and the offshore Bura (Bora) from the NE has little fetch on this seaward face, so it brings fierce surface wind but limited wave action at the site.
