The project aims at developing a network of diving routes in marine areas as a tool for protecting the marine environment, preserving and promoting the natural and cultural heritage, raising public awareness, protecting the marine environment and the sustainable development of tourism, especially diving, enriching and diversifying the provided tourist services. The promotion of new ideas as well as the transfer of know-how on the management and protection of marine areas with diving activity will help to strengthen the economy and diversify activities in the project areas. This will allow the development of infrastructure and the accumulation of the experience for transnational sustainable development and economic planning with emphasis on tourism. Finally, innovative one-way audio surveillance technology will be used. The project foresees the demarcation of at least 4 protected areas with diving routes in Greece, in 2 of which artificial reefs will be dug in order to increase biodiversity. In Cyprus there will be diving of artificial reefs and statues in the place Dasoudi. In addition, the project foresees the mapping and examination of the possibility of declaring Marine Archaeological Sites to be visited in areas of great cultural interest such as Leros and Fourni in Greece, while for Cyprus the purification, rehabilitation and demolition of the ancient port of Amathus is planned for the purpose of designing and creating diving route.
