But few of us know that forests are only part of the story. 70-80 % of the earth’s oxygen actually comes from the sea – It’s phytoplankton, algae and seagrass that produce most of our oxygen. Besides producing important oxygen, seagrass meadows also store carbon dioxide in their biomass and sediments, contributing to our fight against cli

If you think the Mediterranean Sea is just a boring “blue desert”, you are looking at it all wrong. Sure, we don’t have giant colorful coral reefs or massive whale sharks, but if you give it a chance, the Mediterranean Sea will reward you with plenty of reasons to fall in love with it!

As a PADI Eco Center there are two things we love: teaching people to dive and protecting our wonderful underwater world. Even though the dive industry started out as a very male dominated field (and still remains quite male-dominated in many areas), we wouldn’t be where we are today if it weren’t for lots of brilliant women paving the way. This women’s day we want to highlight and celebrate the accomplishments of some truly remarkable female divers who dedicated their life t

When you think about diving, you probably think about the Great Barrier Reef, The Maldives or Indonesia. And those places are great, for sure, but you don’t need to travel that far for incredible dives!
