The Best Father
It is a uniquely touching, heart-wrenching, selfless, joyful, and above all, a story about love between a father and his child called RokOtok. Domagoj Jakopović, known as Ribafish, in honor of his only child, his son Rok who passed away in 2018 at the age of 12, swam across the entire Croatian Adriatic over six annual, specifically summer, stages. From Dubrovnik to Savudrija.
This immense feat is even more remarkable because Ribafish is not Veljko Rogošić, Michael Phelps, or Dina Levačić, but a middle-aged, bald, slightly overweight rocker and hedonist. A guy you won’t find at a trail race, adventure race, or marathon, but at a pub quiz in Hard Place with popcorn in one hand and a beer in the other. You won’t see him among the sect-like runners or Nordic walkers, but in the front row at a Supersuckers concert or tasting fine wine blends and craft beer.
The Best Father I’ve Ever Met
Ribafish is a freshman trapped in the body of a fifty-something-year-old, but above all, Ribafish is the best father I’ve ever met. I met him in person at the funeral of his child. Before that, I followed the adventures of him and his son Rok on Facebook. They seemed like a cool father and son, the kind of relationship I’d like to have with my own son if I ever have the luck to be blessed with one.
Later, when I did have a son, I once complained to Ribafish via messages that my wife and I couldn’t go anywhere because we didn’t have grandparents to help out. He immediately offered to babysit my son with Rok anytime and even laid out detailed plans for how they would entertain him. Sadly, we never got to realize this because tragedy struck.
It seemed that the tragedy had also ended the realization of Ribafish and Rok’s plan—or rather, the father’s promise to his son—to visit all inhabited Croatian islands. Of course, initially by ferries and boats. But then, in Rok’s room, there remained a half-colored map of Croatia with islands and places they had planned to visit together.
I also remember something else from the time I only knew Ribafish from Facebook. Every summer, he would post Rok’s list of 10 things he wanted to do with his father during the holidays. Every summer, “swimming at Proizd” was on the list.
That beautiful little island off the western coast of Korčula later became the place where Rok’s ashes were scattered. Afterward, his father set out to fulfill the promise he had made to his son. The two of them would traverse the entire Croatian Adriatic and visit all inhabited islands—because what is death compared to a father’s commitment to his child?
But Ribafish did not intend to do this by ferries and boats—he would swim. From island to island, from bay to bay. Against the winds, waves, and currents, against himself, his own limits, pain, doubts, and fears—swimming as much as 100 kilometers in a single month.
Despite enduring extreme, unimaginable effort and severe injuries (muscle tears, hernia surgery, constant shoulder pain), he achieved something hardly anyone believed was possible. And he didn’t “just” fulfill a promise to his son—in every single place he swam to, instead of deservedly resting, he dedicated himself to thousands of children who welcomed him.
A Lesson to All of Us Parents
He held lectures on ecology, cleaned beaches with them, and entertained them with geocaching. Most importantly, he emphasized the value of direct social interaction, contact, and hugs between children and parents, instead of the omnipresent, numbing, and destructive tyranny of screens and keyboards.
These were activities he and Rok used to share, and now these values will live not only in memories but also in the consciousness and actions of the children who welcomed the hero of this story during those summers. Ribafish lost his child, but through his swimming odyssey, he helped raise thousands of others.
Ribafish, along the way, taught a lesson to all of us parents—or more specifically, fathers. Being a good father in an era where you must juggle multiple jobs to pay off multiple loans—or simply survive—and during times of complete job insecurity while functioning under enormous stress and multitasking without any outside help, is seemingly impossible.
After everything he endured, Ribafish surely asks himself—more than the rest of us parents—where he went wrong and why he didn’t do more or do it better. But by planting his flag at Savudrija, he has earned the right not to ask that anymore. Because while many fathers say they would swim across seas for their children, Domagoj Jakopović, aka Ribafish, is the only one who actually did it.

RokPoluotok 2025 kicked off with a welcome party in Fažana!
The first of a total of twelve organized sports - ecological - educational gatherings with children and adults, in Fažana, the last chapter of Ribafish swimming in the Adriatic began - the second part of the RokPoluotok project has begun!
This Sunday, the Children's Playground beach in Fažana on the southwestern coast of Istria was full of happy children who listened to a short story about the dangers of plastic and other waste, searched for hidden treasures, cleaned the beach and wandered around Fažana for some time in search of Geocaches. All this took place after three swimmers (from Croatia and Slovenia) swam the section from Galebovi stijene near Pula to Fažana itself, a length of 7,100 meters, early that morning.
"The sea was ideal for long-distance swimming, clean, transparent, with only a few jellyfish and those transparent organisms that are like melted gummy candies. And luckily - they don't sting. We covered a distance of just over seven kilometers in two hours." Said swimmer Domagoj Jakopović Ribafish.
"It was great to swim #rokpoluotok, the atmosphere is great, and we swimmers are always striving for new challenges!" remarked Tina Jeronmen, a swimmer and swimming coach of the Ljubljana ŠD Riba, who came to Pula for the swim with her colleague Nika, so Ribafish swam in the company of two fish from Riba!
About eighty girls and boys aged two to fifteen gathered at the reception. They were very happy with the gifts and hiding treasures, and the most happy was the fact that they got down to cleaning the beach without any problems and explained to everyone around them how we should take care of nature. The gathering lasted more than two hours, during which the grandparents socialized and were screen-free, so one of the main messages of RokPoluotok was learned - that balance is the most important thing for everything, and if the day is planned properly, there is time for everything. The children also heard that you should always talk to your parents in a nice way, especially about the less nice things, and that this is a great opportunity to meet some new friends. Kaufland rewarded everyone who gathered with free ice cream!
The RokOtok project continues its journey on Monday morning, when you will swim 8,000 meters to Barbariga, where there will be a welcome reception at 10:00, and then in three sections to Rovinj, where you will be able to listen and have fun at the workshop on Friday, July 27th at 10:00. After that, you will swim all the way to the border with Slovenia, so the people of Rokoto invite you to join in the swimming and, even better, to come and socialize!
Every child who comes to the workshop will receive cheerful and educational gifts, which, like the launch of the project itself, were made possible by sponsors Sport Vision Croatia, Raiffeisen Bank in Croatia, Kaufland Croatia, Hyundai, Croatian Tourist Board, Fina, Garmin Croatia, Lareto Food, Podravka, Rio Mare, UHU, and donors White Shark, Speedo Croatia, Dora Trgovina, Geocaching Croatia, Offset.hr, Fish Clash, Doppelherz Croatia.

Young great white shark caught in Montenegro
FISHERMAN Gojko Mitrović yesterday submitted to the Institute of Marine Biology of the University of Montenegro photographs of a young great white shark, which he caught and released 12 kilometers from the Montenegrin coast, at a depth of 115 meters.
This species naturally lives in the Adriatic Sea and inhabits the entire Mediterranean, but its numbers are still significantly lower today than in the past.
The great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is one of the most famous animal species in the world, and the Mediterranean population is considered critically endangered. Occurrences of this species in Mediterranean countries are very rare and are often recorded individually in scientific literature.
"Attacks are extremely rare"
According to the Institute, this is only the third recorded catch in Montenegrin waters in the last almost 30 years. The last occurrence of a young individual in the Adriatic was recorded in 2023 in Croatia.
"Although adult great white sharks can pose a potential threat to humans, attacks are extremely rare. People's fear of potentially dangerous animals is understandable, but with accurate information without sensationalism, it is clear that the frequency of shark attacks on humans is significantly lower compared to many other animals, including those we encounter every day," the Institute writes.
Only one shark attack on a human has been recorded in Montenegro, in the mid-20th century. On the eastern Adriatic coast, attacks are extremely rare, and the last fatal one occurred in Croatia in 1974.
The last non-fatal attack was recorded in 2008 near the island of Vis, when a great white shark attacked a diver carrying a caught fish. The gap between the two attacks is more than 30 years.
The Italians have been looking for them for years, but have not found any
In most Mediterranean countries, including Montenegro, targeted hunting of great white sharks is prohibited.
A recent study by Italian colleagues in the Adriatic and other parts of the Mediterranean attempted to find and tag a great white shark. Despite years of attempts, none have been recorded.
Great white sharks, rays and chimaeras, or cartilaginous fish, are among the most endangered groups of vertebrates in the world. More than a third of the species in this group are facing the threat of extinction.

RokPoluotok: Final Stage of Swimming Around Istria Starts June 22
The RokOtok Association and Domagoj Jakopović Ribafish will launch the final stage of the RokPoluotok project on June 22, 2025—a swimming journey along the western coast of Istria, from Pula to Savudrija, with the finish line in Umag on July 16. This marks the completion of a two-year swim around the Istrian peninsula, covering more than 100 kilometers in 18 stages.
The project combines sports, education, and environmental awareness. At 12 selected beaches, there will be educational workshops for children, beach clean-up actions, and fun activities like geocaching and treasure hunts. The goal is to highlight the importance of spending time in nature and taking care of our environment. Every child attending a workshop will receive a fun and educational gift.
Swimming segments are reserved for professional swimmers with boat support, but workshops and events are open to all. Among the key sponsors is White Shark, whose support—along with other partners—has been instrumental in bringing this project to life.
RokOtok promotes a healthy, active lifestyle and reconnecting children with nature. The initiative has received numerous awards, including Ponos Hrvatske (Pride of Croatia) and Local Hero, and has organized hundreds of clean-up actions in collaboration with the Čisteći medvjedići volunteer group.
Key locations include: Fažana, Rovinj, Vrsar, Poreč, Novigrad, Savudrija, and others.
Join us between June 22 and July 16! Come swim, take part in workshops, and help make our one and only Planet a better place."

In addition to showcasing the regional gaming industry, with a focus on Croatia, gamers of all ages will find approximately 300 gaming stations, an indie arena for independent developers, and the latest gaming hardware from major global and domestic brands such as White Shark, Asus, AMD, and Nintendo.
Esports Highlights
The event will also feature the finals of the 14th season of the A1 Adria League and the A1 Student eChallenge competition. Skilled gamers from local universities will compete in Counter-Strike 2, Rocket League, and EA Sports FC 24, while finalists from the Adria League will face off in Counter-Strike 2, EA Sports FC 24, FC Mobile, and Brawl Stars.
This year's esports competitions at Reboot InfoGamer will provide an excellent overview of PC, console, and mobile gaming.
The competitors underwent months of qualifications and league matches, with only the top four teams or individual players (depending on whether the game is team-based or solo) earning a spot in the grand gaming arena organized by A1, the event's partner. The full event title is Reboot InfoGamer 2024 powered by A1.
The prize pool for these seven esports finals amounts to €42,000, a significant sum sure to attract future participants to these competitions.
Focus on Cybersecurity and Education
A1 has emphasized cybersecurity throughout the year and, in collaboration with the Center for Safer Internet (CSI), developed an educational game for children. This game teaches young users how to behave responsibly online and stay safe while browsing. Visitors can try the game at the event and download it for their own devices.
The PISMO Project powered by A1 will also showcase its initiatives with a series of interactive workshops and events over the four days. These include a preschoolers’ workshop in the Croatian game Moopies and a game development workshop for primary school students, where they can create their first game.
For competitive attendees, a tournament in the game Swing By, developed by ANIQ studio (a PISMO entrepreneurial incubator alum), will also take place.
Industry Panels and Investment Discussions
The event kicked off with a panel discussing new incentives for investing in the Croatian gaming industry. Moderated by Aleksandar Gavrilović, Secretary General of the Croatian Game Developers Cluster, the panel featured Joe Stirling Lee, a researcher from the British consulting firm Olsberg SPI, and Krešimir Partl, State Secretary of the Ministry of Culture and Media.
Joe Stirling Lee presented projections from his firm, suggesting that state incentives could help grow the Croatian game development scene. The panelists then debated the pros and cons of such investment models.
Drawing from similar experiences in the film and TV industry, Krešimir Partl noted that incentives are a good idea but emphasized the importance of first investing in domestic (smaller) studios. He highlighted that incentives in the film and TV sector have led to foreign (larger) productions offering higher pay than domestic (smaller) ones, causing local talent to focus on these higher-paying opportunities at the expense of the local industry.

Alen Soldo: I Spent a Month Diving with a Great White Shark
Alen Soldo, a professor at the University of Split’s Department of Marine Studies, tirelessly works to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the sea and its inhabitants. His fascination with the ocean and marine life, particularly sharks, has shaped his career. In this interview, he reveals how his love for the sea began, which expedition nearly cost him his life, and what he aims to achieve with his work.
How did your love for the sea begin?
Soldo doesn’t recall the exact moment he fell in love with the sea, assuming it started at birth. Watching his children, who learned to swim before they could walk, he concludes that this love for the sea is genetically ingrained. Growing up in Split, life without the sea was unimaginable for him.
Did you study the sea and its creatures as a child, or did that come later?
Soldo doesn’t remember his first diving masks, but he vividly recalls spending more time underwater than on the surface. Over time, he managed to combine his passion for diving with his profession, resulting in much of his scientific work being based on research involving diving methods.
Where did you attend elementary and high school?
He completed elementary school in Podstrana, a suburb of Split, and attended high school in Split, at the then-called "old Realki."
How did you decide that the sea would be your professional path?
Soldo admits that when he was choosing a college, there were no marine studies programs in Croatia, except for a specialization at the Faculty of Chemical Technology. Fortunately, during his first year of studies, a new program in Marine and Fisheries Technology was launched, and he immediately switched to it.
Which subjects were you most interested in during your studies?
Soldo was fascinated by all the specialized subjects, including nautical ones. He realized early on that to fully understand marine processes, interdisciplinary knowledge was necessary. His ability to predict marine phenomena has earned him the nickname "the doom prophet" in the media.
Where did you go for your first field research?
His first field research was in the Velebit Channel in the late '90s, during a time of tension between fishermen using different fishing gear. He gained invaluable experience and learned a lot about the difficult life of fishermen.
What was the most dangerous expedition, and what happened?
Soldo describes a dangerous expedition in the early 2000s when he was researching lobster habitats. Due to nitrogen narcosis, which he experienced while diving at a depth of 70 meters, he nearly lost his life. However, he managed to regain enough awareness to save himself and now shares his experience to warn others about the dangers faced by divers.
In which seas have you conducted research, and which expedition is your favorite?
Soldo has conducted research in seas around the world, except the Antarctic. It’s difficult for him to pick a favorite, but he particularly highlights the experience of diving with a great white shark in South Africa. This was a childhood dream that left a deep impression on him.
Which marine creatures fascinate you the most, and why?
For Soldo, sharks are a particularly special group of organisms that he admires. He considers them to be nearly perfect creatures that are now under significant threat from humans. Protecting sharks is one of his main goals, and through various organizations, he works to raise awareness about their importance.
What do you hope to achieve with your work?
Soldo wants people to understand that although we live on what is called "Earth," our planet is actually "Sea," with 71% of its surface covered by water. He regrets that people often treat the ocean as something distant and lifeless. He emphasizes that the majority of the oxygen on Earth comes from the sea and that climate change directly depends on it. He also points out the rapid urbanization of the coastline, which negatively impacts the marine environment. Soldo believes that important issues like marine protection are not sufficiently discussed publicly, while politicians focus on less important topics.
What behaviors toward the sea and marine life bother you the most?
Soldo criticizes politicians who only focus on the sea during their summer vacations. Despite the numerous laws protecting the Adriatic Sea, he believes they are not consistently enforced. He also condemns the way environmental impact studies are conducted, often favoring investors over protecting the sea. He proposes a change in this process to ensure impartiality in creating such studies, but he doubts this will happen soon.

ROKOTOK
ROKOTOK
RokOtok is a project created in memory of Rok, a curious, cheerful boy who planned to visit all Croatian inhabited islands with his father, but the adventure was abruptly interrupted at the age of thirteen, when Rok left this world. His father, Domagoj Jakopović, better known as Ribafish, decided to fulfill his promise to his son, swim from island to island, continue the story and include other children and parents in it in order to realize their never-ending life project together.
The aim of the project is to raise awareness of the importance of the time parents spend with their children through sports, play and learning, and to develop and encourage children's curiosity, interests and spirit of inquiry. And precisely through games and activities with parents, he plans to teach the kids about the cultural and natural heritage of each island he visits. Additionally, through specially prepared ecological workshops, Ribafish will point out the importance of preserving the environment, with a special emphasis on ecological waste disposal.
Project idea
The idea of this unique project was born while Ribafish was writing the book RokOtok about his conversations and travels with Rok, and his desire to turn his son's adventure travel companion into a socially useful project to highlight the importance of positive quality joint activities between children and parents.
While Rok and dad Domagoj managed to visit eight Croatian islands, the idea of this project is to achieve their life's goal through three stages in which Ribafish will connect all inhabited Croatian islands by swimming.
Do you know how many there are?
Geography professor Domagoj counted no less than 50 of them!
When was the last time you actively socialized?
It is a question that Riba will ask children and their elders, and through a conversation in which an excerpt from the book RokOtok will introduce them, they will be reminded of the almost forgotten charms of spending time together.
Upon Ribafish's arrival on the islands, children and their parents will search for hidden treasures in his company and along the way learn something more about ecological waste disposal, various new games they can play and interesting facts about the island they are staying on.
They will talk about the importance of learning, socializing and various ways with the help of which they can learn how to help our Planet and what we can do for our better and cleaner future, apart from picking up trash after ourselves, sometimes for others.

Vanja Peleš won silver medal in DNF discipline by diving 200 meters
Yesterday's finals in "statics" (holding the breath at rest) concluded the pool world championship in freediving according to the AIDA federation (world championships according to AIDA are held every other year). This championship was attended by 146 competitors from 23 countries who competed in the disciplines: "dynamics without fins" -DNF (long-distance diving without fins), "dynamics with fins" -DYN (long-distance diving with fins) and "statics" - STA (resting breath hold). The following players performed for the Croatian national team: Katarina Turčinović, Lidija Lijić Vulić, Goran Čolak and Vanja Peleš. In the strongest competition of the world's best divers so far, the Croatian national team achieved exceptional success, winning the largest number of medals of all countries in the history of holding world championships in freediving (over twenty years). Croatia won six medals (three gold, two silver and one bronze) and an impressive world record.
The Russians are next in terms of success at this world championship with five medals (three gold and two bronze), but also three world records in the women's competition.
Our Goran Čolak once again confirmed that he is the best scuba diver in the world. With the victory the day before yesterday in "dynamics without fins" with 206 meters dived, yesterday's victory in "dynamics with fins" with a new world record length of 281 meters dived and today's victory in "statics" with 8 minutes and 59 seconds, Goran defended the title of current world champion in STA and DYN from 2011, to which he added the title of champion in DNF at this championship, which means that for the next two years he is the world champion of all swimming disciplines. So far, not a single scuba diver has been able to do that, except for the Russian Natalija Molchanova. In the description of Goran's success, it should also be said that at this championship he broke the now old, his own world record (273 m), which he set in 2011 at the last world championship in Italy (Lignano) by eight meters, and which no one else has equaled brought you closer to the fact that he is the current world record holder and champion in dynamics with fins according to the CMAS federation (250 m), as well as the team world champion from last year 2012 when he won in France (Nice) with the Croatian team. The team world championship is held according to AIDA every other year, and as a result, the sum of the results of three competitors who dive in distance with fins (DYN), hold their breath at rest (STA) and dive in depth with unchanged weight (CWT) is scored. .
In the men's competition, our young debutant Vanja Peleš surprised everyone by diving 200 meters in the DNF discipline and winning second place (silver medal), leaving behind several favorites, big world names such as William Trubridge from New Zealand, Aleksey Molchanov from Russia etc.
The women's competition was dominated by the most experienced competitor, multiple world record holder Russian Natalia Molchanova, who, like Goran, won in all three competitive disciplines, setting new world records at the same time.
Our current world record holder in DYN according to the CMAS federation (216.9 m) and European vice-champion in DYN according to CMAS, young Katarina Turčinović dived 175 meters in the DNF discipline, which was 12 meters more than the world record. However, even that was not enough to win the gold medal, and Katarina took second place and won the silver medal behind the most experienced competitor in the world, Natalija Molchanova. In the DYN discipline, Katarina dived 212 m, which was enough for another, this time a bronze medal.
Our national team member Lidija Lijić Vulić, who is the current European vice-champion in the "Jump Blue" discipline according to CMAS, achieved excellent results at this championship, catching the "connection" immediately to the medal, taking fifth place in the DNF (152 m) discipline and fourth place in DYN ( 204 m).

Dina swam the 20th Dalmatian - Badija
20. Dalmatian ✅️
[BADIJA]
Badija is the largest of the 19 islands, islets and rocks in the vicinity of Korčula. It is the largest islet in Croatia, because it lacks the status of an island by 0.03 square kilometers.
The name of the island of Badija was first mentioned in 1737, and before that it was also known as the School of St. Petra, Island, Veliki skolj, Veci skolj, School of St. Mary...
The island got its name from the monastery (lat. abbatia) which was built in the 15th century and still dominates the view of Badija today. The five-hundred-year-old monastery was converted into a resort in the fifties of the last century, and in 2003 it returned to the possession of the Franciscans. Today it is restored and imposing, and it can only be visited with prior notice.
Considering the modest area and the highest altitude of 74 meters, where the church of St. Catherine is located, the island is easy to get around on foot. It is completely covered with maquis and pine forest, with a series of beautiful beaches along a four-kilometer long circular promenade.
MOST IMPORTANT: I am extremely grateful to my partner White Shark, who at the first invitation accepted to be the "owner" of this island and thus supported the project ❤️

Dina Levačić Swims Around the First of 104 Dalmatian Islands
On April 24, 2024, Dina Levačić swam around the first of 104 Dalmatian islands, islets, and rocks as part of a humanitarian project that is scheduled to be completed in November with a swim around Škoj in the Kaštela Bay.
Three goals:
- To promote Dalmatia and Croatia as tourist destinations, especially since long-distance swimming is one of the fastest-growing sports, bringing more and more foreigners to Croatia.
- To raise awareness of the need to keep the islands and the sea clean.
- To raise money for charities and non-profit organizations that carry out projects on the Dalmatian islands.
The swims vary in length, from a mere 50 meters to the 16 kilometers of Sveti Klement (Palmižana). In total, Dina will swim around 160 kilometers. The biggest challenge is the organization, getting to each island and everything that goes with it. The most demanding are the open-sea islands of Palagruža and Jabuka, where she will have to wait for an ideal day to avoid danger for herself and the crew of the boat accompanying her.
Dina started the project in Split, and the final swim will also be to the Split islet Škoj off the northern side of Marjan. The entire project should be completed in November.
The exact schedule is unknown as it will depend on the weather. Dina knows that she will swim in May and June, then after a break again in September and October, and hopes to complete the entire project by mid-November. Due to her private obligations and the crowds at sea, she will not be swimming in July and August. The last one should be Školjić in front of Lučice in Spinut, so that the project starts and ends in Split.
The sea was cold, about 15 degrees, but that didn't bother Dina. She jumped in ready, accompanied by Domagoj Jakopović Ribafish and a few friends who are usually with her.
"The weather is perfect, no waves, no rain..., ha, ha, ha... and in these 180 meters I wouldn't have time to freeze even if it was much colder," Dina said after the ten minutes it took her to swim around the Ježinac rock.
Unfortunately, she has not yet been able to secure the financial side of the entire project.
"It's always a pull-and-drag with sponsors - we haven't covered everything yet, not even the basics, the fuel for the boat that takes us, the accommodation costs on longer routes... But that's nothing new, we're used to it, so if anyone can help, I would be grateful," Dina concluded.
