These events will consist of morning and afternoon dives during which photographic and video data will be collected and put within a database.
Other dives are planned for the autumn winter and Spring to get a fuller picture of the marine environment. The dives will be morning afternoon and night dives.
Various dive centres will be sponsoring the event with air cylinders.
The group will be collecting signatures for the petition which is sponsored by Nature Trust (MALTA) who have for years been lobbying to get Cirkewwa declared as an Marine Protected Area .
