Megalodon CCR
Megalodon CCR All monitoring dives are conducted using Megalodon Closed circuit rebreathers (CCR) to don’t disturb the fish, increased bottom time and safety. We return to the monitoring sites using a GPS coordinates and in water recognition of the site. There is no return to the exact transect although the transects are done within the same site.Fish Census- four transects of 25 m’ each are conducted at every site. Every…
