OCEAN DREAM FACTORY

Five years ago The Ocean Dreams Factory set in motion a program to restore the seabed at El Puertito in Adeje. Its marine ecosystem had been severely damaged by a plague of sea urchin (Diadema antillorum) leaving it utterly lifeless.The sea urchin is one of the most abundant species of invertebrates on the sea floors of the Canary Islands, and has become one of its biggest problems over the years.
More than 60% of the ecosystems of the rocky coasts of the Islands have been affected by the sea urchin, whose uncontrolled growth rates have been favoured by the disappearance of natural predators leading to the formation of underwater deserts, “blanquizales”. Within these areas, the shelter offered by the cover of algae has been destroyed, and this in turn has adversely affected the local fishing industry and poses a serious threat to the conservation of the marine ecosystems in the islands.
The Ocean Dream´s Factory and Océano Sostenible have been working hard to recover El Puertito de Adeje, helping it grow into a haven for numerous species including 7 green turtles (Chelona midas), a species at the top of the list of protected species in the Canary Islands, seahorses (Hippocampus ramulosus), and Harlequin crabs (Platypodiella picta), among many others.This scenario clearly pointed the need to develop a marine stewardship scheme, with the appropriate management Tools.

FLYOVER - an experience in wilderness conservation and a way towards sustainable tourism.
Getting to know the uniqueness and value of our marine reserves, watching over the hard impact of diving activities over the environment and minimising its negative effects are the main targets of FLY OVER. This experience is aimed at both residents and visitors to the island, reaching over to a wide variety of divers, from beginners with no experience, to expert divers. It is in fact intended for anyone who wants to experience conservation first hand and wishes to interact directly with nature whilst at the same time respecting the needs of the amazing creatures found beneath the waves.
Supported by PADI Project Aware and Océano Sostenible, The Ocean Dreams Factory will immerse the visitor in a Marine Micro-Reserve experience, discovering the beauty of Costa Adeje, offering him both a helpful exercise in environmental assessment and a powerful preservation tool.With a high level of service and security, in the hands of long experience diving instructors, beginners will “fly” underwater over the regenerated area, getting to meet the species that live there, and participating in research and conservation activities. This constitutes a gratifying addition to this unique offer in active eco-tourism, which makes it a new reference worldwide. An instructor will accompany each diver throughout the entire dive.Thanks to its creator’s commitment to nature and environment protection, the benefits sre donated to finance Oceano Sostenible´s management, of the first regenerated Marine Micro-Reserve.
