More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
On a wind-brushed morning on Krk's quay, instructors kit up and the Adriatic glints like hammered metal. You slip into a wetsuit, feel the weight of the tank settle, and watch the shoreline recede as the boat eases toward limestone outcrops and kelp-strewn shallows. The sea here is honest — clear, cool, and occasionally playful, testing new divers' attention to buoyancy.
