Seal dive at Hohe Düne (Rostock)
Beside the Hohe Düne marina in Rostock-Warnemünde, divers can meet seals in a section of the Baltic separated from open water. Experienced scientists brief participants on how to behave with the animals, and the dive is limited to a small group. It is one of the most unusual dives on the German coast and suits divers of all levels.
