The Island of Krk, located in the northern Adriatic Sea, is Croatia’s largest island, covering an area of 405 square kilometers. Connected to the mainland by a bridge, Krk is easily accessible and features a diverse landscape. Its geography is marked by rugged coastlines, fertile plains, rolling hills, and lush forests, offering a variety of natural habitats. The island's highest peak, Obzova, stands at 568 meters, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding Adriatic and nearby islands. Krk’s coastline is dotted with numerous coves, beaches, and rocky cliffs, making it an ideal destination for marine exploration. The waters surrounding the island are rich in biodiversity, supporting species like Mediterranean grouper, octopus, and seahorses, as well as dense seagrass meadows, vital for marine ecosystems. The island also features protected marine areas which are home to a wide variety of fish and invertebrates. Inland, Krk's varied ecosystems range from Mediterranean scrub and olive groves to lush forests and wetlands. These terrestrial habitats are home to diverse flora and fauna, including endemic species of plants and birds. The island’s unique geography and ecosystems make it a significant site for both environmental conservation and sustainable tourism. On Krk, Opwall are partnered with long standing dive operators Correct Diving and their marine biology center Mare Vivum. Whilst at Camp the students will stay in tents provided with mattresses and have access to several toilet and shower facilities while food will be provided by a local restaurant.
