About Gonar

Short boat-access dive in Gonar bay on Rab, starting in a shallow corridor between two parallel rock ridges and then ranging across the outer sides for more structure. The site is a common night-dive choice because the shallow center lets you settle in before working the ridges, which hold schools of fish, sponges, and small crustaceans. It is a practical local dive with an easy approach, but the outer side can reach significantly deeper water, so the profile changes quickly.

Community notes to help plan your visit.

Scuba Diving

The dive starts shallow between the ridges and can run out along the outer sides when you want more depth. It works well as a relaxed daytime dive or a night dive, with the best results coming from slow, careful buoyancy around the rock structure.

Freediving

Not a primary freedive site.

Snorkeling

Not a primary snorkel site because the interesting sections sit around the ridges and deeper outer sides.
