Comments and Feedback
We usually dive here everyday with DSD, PADI courses, snorkeling programs, check dives, reactivate, ... and we clean up everyday (instructors, divemasters and divers) so is a clean area but when the wind comes from S S-E, and S S-W bring a lot of marine debris from south mediterranean area. That´s why we decided to Adopt this site because we really did that for us long ago and now we want to cooperate with Project Aware doing this for both of us.
