This is a glorious moment for the fotosubs. More and more people are taking an interest in this practice. In some places they are holding the first editions of this competition, but El Hierro already has plenty of experience. In its twentieth edition, the best freedivers in the country are once again showing how good the Canary Islands are for practicing this sport. Where thanks to the climate, they can dive in all seasons and at any time of day.
For the world of the science it has also become very valuable. When they take the photos, says one of the participants, they send them with the data of where they were taken and at what depth. In this way they are cataloguing marine species in the area.
But that is not the only sector that benefits, El Hierro tourism also receives a boost. Many companies thrive thanks to the consolidation of the El Hierro Island Open Fotosub.
