During the first 2 weeks of June we have had 2 visiting Navy ships: the VASCO DA GAMA from Portugal and the HMS Monmouth for UK .

During these visits we select a mixture of wreck sites that are now good artificial reefs , Seychelles granitic rocks and Marine Park protected areas . This visit HMS Monmouth were interested in helping out with any underwater conservation work so we put our heads together with MCSS and came up with a search and recovery for 3 of the VR2 tracking / listening stations . This new project has already shown some vast movements of tagged species around our waters . After diving to 30 meters it was followed with a ''Thank You '' dive at Grouper point.......with white tip sharks and rays seen !!
