Rok i Ribafish, sin i otac, bili su geocacheri amateri i skupili su preko 300 cacheva sa svih strana svijeta. Imali su plan zajedno posjetiti sve naseljene hrvatske otoke, no njihovu avanturu je prekinula sudbina. Danas, Rok više nije na ovom svijetu, ali tata Ribafish ispunjava obećanje koje mu je dao - da će posjetiti sve hrvatske naseljene otoke, pa stvara Udrugu i projekt #RokOtok, edukacijsko plivački maraton u kojem će kroz tri godine i pedesetak etapa preplivati udaljenosti između svih 50 hrvatskih naseljenih otoka. Ujedno, na svakom otoku će pokušati drugim klincima razviti svijest o važnosti provođenja zajedničkog vremena roditelja i djece kroz sport, druženje, učenje, istraživanje, kao i važnost očuvanja prirode. Geocaching se također promovira kao jedna aktivnost koja odvlači djecu od buljenja u igrice na ekranu prema avanturi, orijentaciji i istraživanju prirode.
Projekt je počeo u ljeto 2019. kad je preplivao preko 100 km spajajući 17 naseljenih otoka u južnom Jadranu. Zbog poznate Covid situacije i ograničenja preskočena je 2020. godina, a u ljeto 2021. slijedi avantura na Srednjem Jadranu, kad će se plivajući obići 17 novih otoka.
Hrvatski geocacheri su se okupili i napravili “ekološke” cacheve koji će uz prigodnu prezentaciju o geocachingu biti postavljeni na tih 17 otoka. Ovo je jedan od cacheva iz serije.

Rava
Otok Rava površine 3.63 km² s 98 stanovnika (2001.) nalazi se u Jadranskom moru i pripada Zadarskom arhipelagu, u južnohrvatskom (dalmatinskom) otočju. Rava je smještena između otoka Iža, odnosno Iškog kanala te Dugog otoka, odnosno Ravskog kanala.
Prema upravno-teritorijalnom ustroju Hrvatske pripada Gradu Zadru. Na otoku su se razvila dva naselja: (Vela) Rava smještena u središnjem dijelu otoka, te Mala Rava na sjeverozapadnom dijelu otoka. Otok se spominje već u 13. st., kada se u povijesnim dokumentima spominje i zadarska plemićka obitelj Raua, koja je na otoku imala svoje posjede i koja je, po svemu sudeći, dala ime otoku.
Rava je jedini otok građen isključivo od dolomitnih naslaga, za razliku od većine ostalih otoka u čijem litološkom sastavu prevladavaju vapnenci (npr.Olib, Silba) ili vapnenci i dolomiti (npr. Ugljan, Pašman, Dugi otok), pješčane naslage nataložene na vapnencima (npr. Susak, Unije) ili magmatske stijene (Jabuka, Brusnik).
Rok and Ribafish, son and father, were amateur geocachers and they found over 300 caches from all over the world. They had a plan to visit all the inhabited Croatian islands together, but their adventure was interrupted by fate. Today, Rok is no longer in this world, but dad Ribafish fulfills the promise he gave him - that he will visit all Croatian inhabited islands. So, he created the Association and the project #RokOtok (Otok = island in Croatian), an educational swimming marathon in which he will connect all 50 Croatian inhabited islands by swimming, in three years and fifty(ish) stages. At the same time, on each island he will try to educate children and develop their awareness of the importance of spending time with their parents through sports, socializing, learning, research, as well as the importance of nature conservation. Geocaching is also promoted as one activity that distracts children from staring at on-screen games towards adventure, orientation and nature exploration.
The project began in the summer of 2019 when he swam over 100 km connecting 17 inhabited islands in the Southern Adriatic. Due to the well-known Covid situation and limitations, the year 2020 was skipped, but in the summer of 2021 an adventure in the Central Adriatic is scheduled, when 17 new islands will be visited by swimming.
Croatian geocachers gathered for this project and made "ecological" caches that will be placed on these 17 islands with a short presentation on geocaching. This is one of the caches from the series.

Rava
The island of Rava with an area of 3.63 km² with 98 inhabitants (2001) is located in the Adriatic Sea and belongs to the Zadar archipelago, in the southern Croatian (Dalmatian) archipelago. Rava is located between the island of Iž, i.e. the Iški channel, and Dugi otok, ie the Rava channel.
According to the administrative-territorial structure of Croatia, it belongs to the City of Zadar. Two settlements have developed on the island: (Vela) Rava located in the central part of the island, and Mala Rava in the northwestern part of the island. The island is mentioned as early as the 13th century, when historical documents mention the Zadar noble family Raua, who had their own estates on the island and which, apparently, gave the island its name.
Rava is the only island built exclusively of dolomite deposits, unlike most other islands whose lithological composition is dominated by limestones (e.g. Olib, Silba) or limestones and dolomites (e.g. Ugljan, Pašman, Dugi otok), sand deposits deposited on limestones (e.g. Susak, Unije) or igneous rocks (Jabuka, Brusnik).
