Our dive centre is on the romantic Island of Murter in Central Dalmatia. Dives in the National Park Kornati, the wreck of Francesca di Rimini, Stuka and the red gorgonian in Babuljasi definitely count to the high lights of the Adriatic Sea. With our speed boats we reach fascinating, but sometimes more distant locations within reasonable time. After the dives there is enough time to enjoy the overwhelming landscape and culture above the water. We offer education according SSI guidelines from introductory dives to professional certification as well as extended range diving. We also support rebreather diving wiht a limited amount of diluent and O2 tanks. We think that a dive base should do more than guiding the group to dive sites. With our activities SEA MORE we want to transfer - together with several scientific groups - awareness and knowledge about the life in Poseidon’s Garden to our clients.

What you can expect If you expect high life, disco till late morning and crowded bars you could be a bit disappointed. What you can expect is the full Mediterranean flair: romantic bays, the smell of pine trees, a nice fish dinner in the harbour, watching a kitschy sunset and perfect dives. If you think that there are no colours in the Mediterranean sea you will be surprised. We take you to walls covered with red fan corals and colourful sponges. We show you caves and places with pieces of old amphora and sometimes dolphins join us on the way to our dive sites.

The Dive Sites/ Diving Steep walls with drop-offs to the blue are characteristic for the area around Murter and the Kornati Archipelago. Some of them are overgrown with red fan corals which gloom in an incredible deep red when you point with your torch We support a scientific group that started a mapping in October 2007 of these gorgonian walls. Not too much is known about these corals since they grow mostly below 25 m only. Wether it is the wreck of Francesca di Rimini & Stuka (where Najada Diving has one of the three official licences for the time being) or easy places with an amazing diversity of marine life – we bring you fast and save to the sites and back home again. We have documented our most common sites on our home page. Please, take a look for more detailed information. Education We offer the full SSI course program up to Divecon/ assistant instructor including extended range technical diving. Since Murter is a typical family- holiday resort we are also offer kid diving. Further we perform photo courses and rent cameras. Once a year we offer dives guided by marine biologists in the frame of our SEA MORE program. Further info: www.najada.com & fb: www.facebook.com/Najadadiving
