Everyone who enjoys swimming and scuba diving with their families is invited. Diving Day – underwater treasure hunt is an event in the form of a family picnic, where everyone will find something for themselves. We guarantee fantastic fun and attractive prizes.

Swimming race

The Diving Day event will include a 950m swim race. It is not a coincidence that this distance was chosen, because 3 weeks later, on the same distance, the competitors will start in another MOSiR event – Triathlon Gdańsk.

A minute earlier, also at a distance of 950m, competitors will start the ABC swimming race. This is for those who dive as well as those who are sporty swimmers in fins. People who have never swum in the Gulf waters before and want to take on this challenge are also welcome. We will prove to you that swimming in the waters of the Baltic Sea can give you a lot of joy and positive energy. Anyone can swim, all you need is the right equipment and willingness.

Diving

We also invite everyone interested in diving in the sea together. This will be a unique opportunity to explore the coastal area by the pier, normally closed to divers. The main objective of the dive will be to navigate underwater in pairs. The idea is that people will be given a map with the locations of the points before entering the water. From each point the team takes the “treasure” in the shortest possible time. Persons who do not have a pair are asked to report to the Organiser in order to determine a diving partner. It is not possible to dive solo.
