Dubrovnik je poznat po svojoj povijesti, ali jedan poseban kutak skriva podvodni svijet koji privlači posjetitelje.
Dubrovnik is known for its history, but a special corner hides an underwater world that attracts visitors.
Na ulazu u Akvarij Dubrovnik, Ivana stoji zamišljeno promatrajući svijetle plave sjene koje plesaju po zidovima.
At the entrance of the Akvarij Dubrovnik, Ivana stands thoughtfully, watching the bright blue shadows dance on the walls.
Luka i Marko, njeni prijatelji, već su unutra, diveći se raznolikim ribama i koraljima.
Luka and Marko, her friends, are already inside, admiring the diverse fish and corals.
No, Ivana osjeća mali grč u želucu.
However, Ivana feels a small knot in her stomach.
Mjesto je predivno, no strah pratitelja u srcu.
The place is beautiful, but the fear is lurking in her heart.
Ivana voli more, ali duboka voda ju zastrašuje.
Ivana loves the sea, but deep water frightens her.
Kad je bila mala, igrajući se na obali, iznenada ju je zahvatila velika valna plima.
When she was little, playing on the shore, a large tidal wave suddenly caught her.
Iako su je brzo spasili, strah od dubine ostao je u njenim mislima.
Although she was quickly rescued, the fear of the depth remained in her mind.
Sada, kao odrasla žena i zaljubljenica u morsku biologiju, želi plivati s ribama i roniti uz prijatelje u Jadranskom moru.
Now, as an adult woman and a marine biology enthusiast, she wants to swim with the fish and dive with her friends in the Jadranskom Sea.
Međutim, postoji još jedan problem - njezine unutarnje uši ponekad joj zadaju neugodnosti.
However, there is another problem - her inner ears sometimes cause her discomfort.
To bi moglo utjecati na njenu sposobnost da roni.
This could affect her ability to dive.
Danas je njezin dan odluke.
Today is her day of decision.
Odlučila je posjetiti specijalista.
She has decided to visit a specialist.
Dok hoda prema uredu specijalista, prolazi pokraj velikog staklenog tankova gdje morski psi saznaju.
As she walks towards the specialist's office, she passes by large glass tanks where sharks are housed.
"Suoči se sa strahom," misli u sebi, promatrajući graciozan ples ajkula.
"Face the fear," she thinks to herself, watching the graceful dance of the sharks.
Ruke joj nisu mirne, ali odlučna je.
Her hands aren't steady, but she is determined.
Specijalist je ljubazan gospodin, razumije njene brige.
The specialist is a kind gentleman who understands her concerns.
"Ivana," kaže nježno, "možeš roniti, ali s oprezom.
"Ivana," he says gently, "you can dive, but with caution.
Morat ćeš raditi na savladavanju straha.
You'll have to work on overcoming the fear.
Za početak, trening u kontroliranim uvjetima.
To start, training in controlled conditions."
"Njegove riječi su kao šapat nade.
His words are like a whisper of hope.
Tijekom posjete akvariju, Ivana se suočava s akvarijem poput učionice.
During her visit to the aquarium, Ivana faces the aquarium as if it's a classroom.
Odlazi do bazena za treniranje ronioca.
She goes to the training pool for divers.
Počet će s plitkim uronima, korak po korak.
She will start with shallow dives, step by step.
Osjeća olakšanje, a pomalo i hrabrost.
She feels relief, and a bit of courage.
Jesenji povjetarac piri dok Ivana napušta akvarij, hodajući uz kamenite ulice starog grada.
An autumn breeze blows as Ivana leaves the aquarium, walking along the rocky streets of the old city.
Svjetlo je mekše, ali njen korak snažniji.
The light is softer, but her step is stronger.
Nikada nije mislila da će se moći suočiti s dubinama, ali sada zna - jakost dolazi iznutra, kad se odlučiš suočiti sa strahovima.
She never thought she could face the depths, but now she knows - strength comes from within when you decide to face your fears.
Pod zvjezdanim nebom Dubrovnika, Ivana se osjeća slobodno, svjesna da je prvi korak prema moru, tek početak novog poglavlja.
Under the starry sky of Dubrovnik, Ivana feels free, aware that her first step towards the sea is just the beginning of a new chapter.
Krenut će, uz svoje prijatelje, u avanturu života - uron u plavetnilo.
She will set off, with her friends, on the adventure of a lifetime - a dive into the blue.
