![]() ![]() Of our large group, Joey and I were two of the first in the water. Dives with good visibility are my favorite kind. The ability to see the bottom 30 feet under the water from the surface meant that the visibility would be excellent. Peering down from the edge of the zodiac, past the surface of the water I could see the dark blue depths below. According to legend, Richard the Lionheart (yes, the famous King from the legend of Robinhood) was shipwrecked and cast ashore on this landmass in 1192 on his way home from the crusades. If you’re a fan of legends and intrigue, the island Lokrum has got that covered. The name comes from the Latin word acrumen, meaning sour fruit, referring to the exotic plants cultivated on the island. Lokrum island dive site is located 600 meters from Old Town Dubrovnik. As anticipated it took us a good chunk of time before our large group was packed onto the zodiac and speeding towards Lokrum island, the first dive site. Nothing with diving ever goes quickly it takes time to make sure you grabbed all the proper equipment sizes, check and double check that your gear is setup correctly and finally squeeze into that wetsuit that sticks to every one of your sweaty limbs. Old divers, new divers, divers from Brazil, from the USA – there was a huge variety of people that made up the group that would go diving today. By the time I had my tank and regulators assembled, other divers slowly began to trickle in. Once we’d collected our gear from the staff, we found a small corner to call our own and began the tedious set up of our equipment. ![]() The morning of our dive we were two of the first people to arrive at the shop. It was so busy in fact that we had a hard time finding an open dive day that accommodated our work schedule. They were a bustling little shop that worked out of the luxurious hotel, Dubrovnik Palace. Lined with the dramatic Dinaric Alp Mountains plunging into deep underwater cliffs, to drive this coastline is to honestly top off your road trip through Europe’s Balkan countries.īlue Planet Dive Center was our dive shop of choice for our two day underwater adventure. The city of Dubrovnik is located along the rugged Dalmatian coast, a narrow belt of mountainous land that stretches from Croatia’s northern island of Rab all the way to the Bay of Kotor in the south. I do my best to ensue everyone has a safe dive and expect the highest level of professionalism from both myself and my staff.A post shared by Travel Buddies 4 Life on at 2:13pm PDT Thank you for praising my dedication to safety and the quality of my equipment at Blue Planet.
