Voyage to the Bottom of the Menorcan Sea

The Centro de Medicina Subacuática de Menorca, directed by Dr. Jordi Moyà and Dr. Alejandro Fernández, was founded in 1997, with the aim of covering an unquestionable necessity on Menorca: a specialised medical attention for all those who practice deep sea fishing and diving, very popular sports on Menorca, due to the excellent conditions of the coast and waters of the island.

To share their work with the resident and visitants of Menorca, and show the richness of the Menorcan submarine heritage, the Centre organises every year, at Christmas, audiovisual shows based on commented diaporamas (slide-shows). This year the show includes a report on the Menorcan submarine caves by Guido Pfeiffer and his wife Flory Caló, expert divers resident in Menorca and directors of the "SUB" and "FOTOSUB" magazines; and a virtual tour to the Papua New Guinea coasts, realised by Pierfranco Dilenge, who is 5 times world champion of submarine photography. The images are commented by Alfonso Buenaventura, author of books such as "Naufragios y siniestros de la costa de Menorca" and "Menorca, Atlas náutico"

The show was presented on January 1, at the Teatre Municipal des Born in Ciutadella, with great success, and on Friday 4, at 8.30 p.m. it will be screened at the Teatre Principal in Maó.
