Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
There is no destination-wide tropical-style marine park dive tag. Diving access is instead governed by local site rules, protected-area boundaries, harbor and navigation restrictions, land access, and operator policies. Visitors staying in many coastal resorts pay a local visitor levy and receive an Ostseecard. Rates vary by municipality and season. The figures below are the official published schedules reviewed on the research date; verify them at booking because municipalities recalculate charges.
