This year we were lucky enough to be able to attend and discover The Philippines as a guest country, a country that with its more than 7,000 islands has become one of the capitals of Asian diving. It had a stand where there was typical food and dances so that the thousands of diving fans who toured the fair could discover one of the tourist destinations par excellence.
The theme of the fifth edition was "For a sea without plastics" and featured a Skeleton Sea exhibition of 5 sculptures made with marine debris, objects that have disappeared found on coasts everywhere. Among them we saw a huge fish made of sandals or a huge whale made of tires. We also had the exhibition of the Spanish photosub champion, where he showed his vision of the marine universe.
Diving centers from all over the country joined together to offer the great variety of diving courses, outings and diving trips that can take place in our coasts or in countries with a great tourist attraction for scuba diving lovers.
For their part, the conferences that took place during the weekend revolved around promoting various destinations in which to dive as well as raising awareness about the state of our oceans. Presentations were also given in which they talked about the causes of dizziness in diving, a bottle inspection course was given, and a brief introduction to apnea was given by Miguel Lozano (Record in Spain Apnea Free Immersion), The new Aqua Lung collection was presented, documentary films were shown...
Without forgetting the contests, raffles, the pool that had been prepared for diving baptisms and the equipment test or the incredible opportunity to dive with the sharks of Oceanogràfic's "Océanos".
In short, it was one of the best events of the year where both professionals and diving fans could immerse yourself fully in this sport and in the best places to practice it.
