Sailor and diver
Sailing and diving the Adriatic coast
I’m Marko. I sail an older 32-foot sloop out of Split and dive from her, and I film the passages, the dives and the how-tos.
Pick by the wind
Each bar is the wind a guide or course is for, in knots: the maestral in the afternoon, the jugo before rain, the bura in winter. Find the wind you are expecting and take the one under it.

Hello, I’m Marko
I’m Marko. I live in Split and have sailed and dived the Adriatic all my life. I sail an older 32-foot sloop along the Dalmatian coast and out to the islands, and I dive from her on every trip I can.
I film the passages as they were, in the weather we had, whether it was the maestral, the jugo or the bura, and the jobs I learned on the way. I sell the guides and sheets I use on board, each made for a range of wind, and two courses for the day it blows.
Notes from the Adriatic
One passage, dive or job a week, and what the wind was doing.
