Once the activity was end, we proceeded to award certifications to our participants, Antonio and Ester.

For ending we organised an outdoor lunch at the beach all together at the Restaurant El Racó de Can Margarit, where we share feelings, opinions and jokes … everything accompanied by a big “paella”…. and very close to the sea!

The DDI team of Catalonia was comprised of  Antonio Gallardo (Instructor), Sílvia Gimeno (DM-in representation of DDI HQ),

Ester Tarragó (Assistant diver), Eva Casals (Administration), and Xavier Rizo (Instructor – DDI Catalonia Rep.).

Noted that their collaboration was voluntary. We have a goal to show our activity and reach  the bigger part of people that want to try it or want to continue to experience diving …
