Comments and Feedback
On Friday, the 16th of October 2020; Guides, guests and crew of Emperor Superior liveaboard were forced into action and removed a 100m long ghost fishing net on the very popular dive site Sha'ab El Erg ( Dolphins House). Unfortunately; few fishes and corals were already condemned by this time. They managed to record it, remove it and report it to the authorities.
