The net was not on the seabed as usual, it was floating because of the current. It was going up, it was going up to 18 meters, maybe even 16. So it was a bit dangerous for all of us. We found a fish and a spanish lobster, they were stuck in the net. We tried to free them from the net by cutting it with a knife. The spanish lobster was flopping wildly, but we managed to cut the net and released them both. They were lucky to survive. This time...

The once rare phenomenon with jellyfish has taken on large proportions in the last two years. It is possible that it is also related to the no longer rare appearance of dead turtles, who die because of eating plastic bags, thinking they are jellyfish.

I had never seen lionfish in all these years. We saw them for the first time, I think it was two years ago, at the end of the season and I even watched them and I remember thinking, “that’s not true, it’s a joke”, but unfortunately, they’re evolving quite quickly. I think it’s a really bad phenomenon that has come to stay and we’re going to have to deal with it in the coming years.

There’s a huge difference regarding sea urchins. We used to see them all the time in the bay. We do our skills and DSDs there. Imagine there are dives now during which I’m looking for a sea urchin to show a client and I can’t find one. And we’re talking about female urchins who are easy to find. And I can’t find them.
