German term or phrase: Eintauchen.Untertauchen.Auftauchen
Slogan für eine Wasserentdeckungsreise in Kärnten

Unter dem Slogan "Eintauchen. Untertauchen. Auftauchen.“ locken bei dieser Reise rund 20 WasserErlebnisziele zum Juwel in Kärnten, den Millstätter See. So gibt es in Seeboden eine Wassermeditation im Seewasser mit einer 1000-Hände-Massage. In der Radentheiner Granatschlucht zaubert die Kraft des Kaningbachs dunkelrot funkelnde Steine aus dem Inneren der Erde.......

3 x dasselbe Wort wie im Dt. finde ich im Englischen nicht. Ich dachte an eine Alliteration im Sinne von "Dip, dive and douse" oder so ähnlich. Hat irgend jemand einen Vorschlag?

Dip, Dive and Discover
Explanation:
Since it's for an adventure trip! Auftauchen would translate as resurface but it just doesn't sound catchy enough. I love your alliteration idea so discover for a "Entdeckungsreise" would work.

Submerge, immerse, emerge


Explanation:
Ok, so you don't get the alliteration but thought I'd offer you another option with three words with similar sounds.

Immerse, Submerge, Emerge


Explanation:
the verb dip has another connotation (I dip sthg in a liquid) what is meant here might be circumscribed <to go for a dip> The reason for my choosing immerse, submerge and emerge is because the first verb is fine for meditation, the second one is adequate for diving.
