Samograd

Behind the island of Samograd you will find a small rock protruding just above the water level. A wall running from NW to SE offers you an underwater landscape with two amazing gorgonian walls.

This dive site is located opposite Lumbarda. At approx. 30m deep a step breaks off, changing into a huge plateau at 45m. Like a well-kept garden, this site is densely covered with fan corals (red and color changing) and Savalias.

This dive starts south of a small rock next to Kablinac. After some fin-strokes above sea grass you reach a sandy plateau. The wall starts next to it in app 20-25 m of water. The wall goes around from SW to SE. Follow it with your right shoulder and find yellow gorgonians, to your left you will find red ones.

Approach from the west until you see the drop off on the boat’s sonar. The north side of the wall has amphora and parts of old tubes. The wall is covered with yellow gorgonians. A perfect 2nd dive after diving Stuka.

The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka (from Sturzkampfflugzeug, “dive bomber“) was a two-man (pilot and rear gunner) German dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft. The plane is almost undamaged and lies upright at 25-27m.

The Kukuljari is a group of islands located in the SW of Murter Island. The dive sites are on the island closest to Murter with the light-house. Kukuljari offers 3 options for diving: the west side is sheltered and offers a perfect anchor ground and the northwest cape is a small cavern with colorful sponges at 22m.

Francesca di Rimini was an ammunition/cargo ship that sunk during the 2nd World War. The wreck is overgrown with sponges and soft corals. The ship is under protection and Najada diving has the license to dive this wreck.

Approaching Kaprije Island the same direction you would to Francesca, on the west side you will see a small cape marking the anchor area for this dive site. Under a small platform at a moderate depth you will find soft corals and colorful sponges, ideal for beginners and for a great second dive.

The drop-off is in 24m at an eastward direction. Dive down the slightly overhanging wall. At 42m you see the remains of an approximately 35m long ship. All wooden parts are rotten, but many metal parts are lying around. Left and right of the wreck are impressive gorgonian hills & fields.

A very nice underwater landscape. Dive over the drop-off, and on your left side you will see nice hills overgrown with Carophyllia. In about 20m a ridge branches off. Follow the hill until you find many different colored gorgonians in 35m of water.
