Hi Octo-Danny!

It is possible to dive there, somebody did it in the last summer. The biggest problem is the vis which is very low.
I think some ruins of the old port and town of Tomis can be seen around. However i am not aware of any dive operator in close to the Balck Sea.
If you are really interested please contact me and I will give you more details.

Wow Ramairo, that must have been cool, did you dive there, I mean in Isverna in the Apuseni Mountains? How do you get to the Apuseni Mountains to dive in Isverna, do you use a route planner or would a primary school geography book be just enough to get you to the right mountains ?
