Hohe Düne is a sheltered training dive beside the floating dive center in Rostock's harbor area. The shallow basin is set up with playful underwater props, including a telephone booth, desk, Christmas tree, anchor, and training platform, so the dive feels like a compact skills circuit rather than a long swim. It suits beginners and easy checkouts when you want a straightforward entry, simple navigation, and a site that stays focused on practice.
