The main shore accessible Conservation Areas around Wrecks are now off limits to any boating activity save for diving support vessels, and exclude trolling fishing from continuing in these sites.
A new notice to mariners published today addresses the safety concern that freedivers and scuba divers have been raising over the years!
Thanks to TM & DFA for the publication, and especially the OHSA who in the background we know they were not taking this issue lightly at all!
Thanks are due to the persons that we won’t name, but we have been chasing on this matter for months so that the issue is not buried again.
Thanks as well to MP Ivan Bartolo who helped raise Parliamentary Questions on this matter.
Now we hope these arrangements will be respected, and enforced where and when needed.
