In April we will be going on a "cold water tour" to the beautiful island of Dugi Otok in the Croatian Adriatic near the Kornati National Park! Relaxed dives on massive steep walls, in a bizarre underwater world and simply a great feeling in the DEEP BLUE of the Croatian Adriatic await us here! HIGHLIGHT (!) DECOMPRESSION DIVER COURSE on the tour On the tour there is the option of completing the SSI Decompression Diver course. A course that expands your limits, especially on the deep walls of the Adriatic. We dive to 40m and with up to 15 minutes of deco. Stages, deco gas, etc. are provided on site and do not have to be brought along (doesn't look good in hand luggage either ;). The tour is led by our boss and BlueMarlin founder Sebo (Sebastian Reinwald). He started diving in Croatia at the age of 6, later worked as a diving guide and instructor in the North Adriatic and has a great passion for the land and the sea! Just the right man for this tour ;) Diving center Kornati Diving Center The Kornati Diving Center is located directly in the harbour of the tranquil village of ZAGLAV on Dugi Otok. The center is under the German management of Matthias and Ela, who are passionate about their work.

The DiveCamp will be led by the legendary "Master of DiveCamp", our diving instructor Detlef. THIS IS WHAT TO EXPECT... Day 1: Arrival and check-in On the first day, everyone checks in until around 5 pm. Then there will be an initial welcome and introductions before the first briefing for the check dive. Afterwards there is a BBQ together and the now legendary first test begins: 20 questions about the OWD that no one has ever asked you before. At our DiveCamp, fun and learning are two sides of the same coin. Day 2: 2 dives in Lake Fühlingen Today we go diving (at least) twice in Lake Fühlingen. The participants will work in teams to overcome big and small challenges before something new comes up in the afternoon: our TrainingCamp with tips and tricks from our experienced diving instructors - from frog kicks to helicopter turns. There are always small snacks in between. In the evening there is also the opportunity to complete the SK night diving course. We end the evening with pizza. Day 3: 2 dives in lakes 4 and 6 On this day we do more relaxed dives and explore the other lakes. Among other things, we will do one-way dives (for those who wish). Afterwards we will spend the evening again with a relaxed BBQ. Day 4: The crowning of the DiveCamp winners and departure On the last day of diving, an early morning dive is offered - for early risers (i.e. for everyone). This is followed by a final breakfast and another dive with the last task for the hunt for the annual BlueMarlin trophy. After the award ceremony, all participants will head home at midday.

In 2026 we will again be regularly visiting the Nuttlar slate mine (Sauerland) for cave diving and cavern tasting.

As a rule, you'll forget that there's no rock ceiling above you as soon as you dive down ;) and you'll get that real cave feeling. A fascinating experience! We look forward to welcoming you to the Nuttlar mine!
