Sparse map of Luka Krnica with the Krnicadive centre at Krnicki porat, the harbour the boat leaves from; shoreline from OpenStreetMap. The reef is dived from the boat and has a shallow shelf and an edge to below 25 m. The dive centre publishes no position or plan for this reef, so it is not drawn; the map is centred on the harbour instead of the old site coordinates in Krnica village, 2.7 km inland. For reference, the published shore facts for the Krnica shore (Obala Krnice, istra.hr site 33): easy entry, rocky and sandy bottom from 3 to 12 m, most interesting at 7-8 m, sea bottom around 29 m further out.

The principal house site at Krnica, on the east coast of Istria facing the Kvarner. The northern Adriatic here is shallow and the rock is karst limestone, so the profile is a shelf with sea grass and boulders and then a step down.
Four dives between 16 and 19 May 2015, from 11.1 m to 27.5 m — which tells you there is a proper edge to go over, not just a shelf.
