Neretva River rafting guides share multi-generational story

Mersud Mešukić Suda, a veteran rafting guide on the Neretva River, shares a long-standing anecdote regarding how he used to answer tourists' questions about the river's depth. For years, Suda would dip his waterproof wristwatch into the water to provide estimates of depth and temperature to curious travelers, despite the watch only measuring time.

Nearly three decades later, the watch remains a family heirloom and has been passed down to his son, Kerim, who has also become a rafting guide. The father and son recently discussed their shared passion for nature and their work on the river, reflecting on their experiences and their different approaches to guiding guests.
