Kamenar

  • 177

Kamenar, the “Stone-Hill,” is located E of the island Zut. An underwater rock comes up close to the surface. The upper plateau is structured in soft hills, an ideal anchor ground and a nice area for your safety stop. Though it is outside Kornati National Park it shows the same type of landscape.

In the shallow part of the plateu you will occasionally see a ray and where the wall breaks, morays like to hide in the cracks.

Octopus

Octopus

An octopus has eight arms with suction cups which it uses as powerful tools for hunting prey, defense against attackers, and locomotion along the seafloor. They are one of the most fascinating marine animals on the planet. Every octopus has a designated “arm“ that it favors and uses most often. Because they have no inner skeleton, they are extremely mobile and can slip through the narrowest gaps and holes. Some species can even survive and move on land for a short time. Scuba diving with an octopus is an amazing and rewarding experience.

Spiny Lobster

Spiny Lobster

Also known as rock lobster, spiny lobster is the common name given to over 60 different species of crustaceans within the family Palinuridae. Spiny lobsters lack the typical large pincers of common lobsters and have very long, thick antennas. You can find this nocturnal animal during the day in crevices and caves throughout the reef. Night diving is an excellent way to see them while they are out and active. Spiny lobsters migrate across the sea floor in large groups, with up to 50 animals sometimes creating a long line.
