The film about the experience of the association "Trident Club Mostaganem", which specialises in scuba diving and environmental preservation. Its members voluntarily create an artificial reef, which is an empty metal structure, to be immersed in a depth of 20 meters, as an experience of them in observing whether this structure will contribute to the rebirth of new marine life for fish that have migrated around their environment because of the dangers they face, mainly the human factor.
In our short film, we used a simple "GoPro" underwater camera, with which we monitored images of the structure while it was immersed in a sandy environment. We also used a Compaq camera to document the images taken above the sea surface. Despite the difficulties, we were able to document this event, which is considered the second successful experiment in Algeria.
