A biologist diver will go to the famous wreck of the Toulonnais, a former 27-meter-long tugboat that has been resting outside the port of Monaco since 1991 and has since been relocated at the foot of the museum. Thus creating an artificial reef, it constitutes an ideal diving site housing rich fauna and flora: brown groupers, lobsters, schools of anthias or damselfishes, moray eels, conger eels…

Innovate to raise awareness

Pursuing a common commitment to the oceans, Beuchat and the Oceanographic Museum are using the most advanced technologies to serve the environment. Internet users will have the unprecedented opportunity to send their questions via Facebook, to interact live with the diver equipped with a mask with headphones and a microphone. To do this, simply connect to @OceanoMonaco, @BeuchatDivingFR ou @SuuntoDivingFrance to follow this Facebook Live!
