Shaping Up the Moorings of the South

The HEPCA mooring team undertook their seasonal maintenance round in the South last week. During their trip, 5th- 14th of May, they visited fifteen dive sites; including the ever popular Elphistone, Abu Dababab sites, Gotaa’ and Erg Marsa Alam, Sha’ab Nakari and the renowned Samadai Reef. During their engaging nine days in the South the HEPCA mooring team surveyed all the moorings in the region. The team repaired 27 moorings and installed almost a dozen, in addition to conducting maintenance on the zone demarcation buoys at Samadai. Sayed Marzouk the HEPCA Mooring Co-ordinator for the South expressed that he “is always thrilled by working on the pristine reefs on the south. And that he was delighted by the continued support provided by our members, which is the essence of the work that HEPCA does”. Our team came back with an important message; they ask that all boat operators follow "HEPCA’s Guidelines For Using Buoy" and report any violations or damaged moorings as soon as possible through the HEPCA website. The HEPCA mooring team will return to the South soon and wishes you all an enjoyable diving season.
