Thanks for the clues and approaches you follow! Am not that meticulus at all. Thats why i have Aquatics since 2012 (no service at the first). But since the company is in Canada and the European sector is nowadays small (and a bad experience from a Service Center) i decide to move to Nauticam (almost everywhere in Europe you can find a dealer). Amazing ergonomics, interesting building approach and lots of ports and adapters to use my Aquatica staff. No downside for that investment! The electric air blow is something that i have to use in Nauticam due to the lots of holes they have on the top (and to blow water from the buttons). Let see how far it will do!

Happy owner of Nauticam system (migration from Aquatica), the rings are more complex from what i was used (just bayonet system and thats it). Lock systems, zoom staff, lock mechanisms - all that have moving parts with orings and seals. How often do we need to service also that parts of the equipment?

An ex seagrass meadow, taken care by intensive and continuus anchorage of boats within a marine protected area and a dead noble shell. A combo of two emblematic species / habitat formers / ecological engineers that we loose day by day. Even if the seagrass meadows are abundant in Greece and elswhere, locally we have huge issues. The noble shell / fun mussel - we are among the last that we see it alive, abundant everywhere. Now only in two locations in Greece and the Sea of Marmara and few spots in Croatia. What we can do for that? Anchorage systems and ban of free anchorage is the way to go. For the fun mussel / the noble shell? Practically nothing ....

When i see the same images, i couldn;t believe it! How dramatic the same spot change, from colorful stars to muddy algae ..... And this timely aligned with a lecture i will give on NYU Abu Dhabi about "Seascapes under siege", where art is part of the way of awareness and shaking the society! That article is a nice review (scientific) > https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/6422D490CBDB30E9798D4D41AC20FA67/S2754720523000136a.pdf/the-role-of-art-in-coastal-and-marine-sustainability.pdf
