I did two dives on Saturday 2019-7-06 at Dubrovnik with Blue Planet diving center located at Dubrovnik Palace hotel.
I reserved the 2 dives by email one week in advance.
I was picked up from my hotel at 9 am as agreed, the drive to Place hotel was only 5 minutes as it was just across the bay from my own hotel.
Then I filled the usual paperwork and showed my certification cards, and also my logbook they wanted to see,
Then payment in advance was 800 Kuna (110 EUR) for 2 dives with rental gear.

I used their rental equipment: 7 mm wet suit, booties, fins, Mares BCD, Mares regulator, 6 kg on weight belt. 15 liter steel tank fille with air to 220 bar at start. The rental gear apperaed to be in good condition and well maintained.
Had my own mask, Shearwater Perdix computer and my camera gear.

On both dives I used Olympus TG-5 camera in PT-058 housing, AOI UWL-04 wide angle wet lens (160 degree FOV).
Attached to a tray with handles, 12" arms for 2x Nanight 4000 lumen video lights (120 degree beams).

We were a group of 4 plus our guide Marko Mitrovic. Marko gave a thorough briefing about everything relevant by the table next to sea.
Then we loaded the gear and ourselves to the RM 599 speedboat. The boat appeared to be quite new and in good condtion too. Two big Honda engines in good condition.

First dive site was called Abyss at south end of Kalamota Island, just 10 minute boat ride from the center to NW. We anchored to bot near the rocky wall of the island, you could see to the bottom below at 10 meters easily.
Marko made us test our weighting before the dove and everyone had it ok.
All of the group was experienced and good divers.

First we saw a wreck of a barge, then along the wall to a cavern that went though to surface,and then from the top of cavern back to the boat that was in anchor. We saw many moray eels, some smaller fish. Visibility was amazing, +20 meters at best spots.

Nice dive. The camera system worked well and I got some good pictures:
