Objectif Atlantide - Treasure hunt in Djibouti

Underwater treasure hunt - Atlantis goal

13e edition

The 13th edition of the adventure under-marine "Objectif Atlantide" will take place from 13 to 20 November 2010 in Djibouti in the center of the Blue Lagoon on the island of Moucha, in the Gulf of Tadjoura. A mysterious and little-known place with funds under-some of the most beautiful sailors in the world, that the organizers of the Atlantis Goal Treasure Hunt could not ignore.

For this new adventure, 15 teams of 3 divers will look for a real treasure. The research will be carried out on land and under the sea, according to a fiction created by the Objectif Atlantide team for several months: archival documents, scientific references, testimonies, various reports, vintage maps, clues to find, day and night, until the discovery of the treasure.

For more than 20 years, the Objectif Atlantide organization has been used to intervene in the field of protection of the underwater environment during its events. For this edition, an evolution of the treasure hunt awaits the participants, the enigma taking on a new naturalistic and scientific dimension. In addition, organizers and competitors will participate in a census of marine species, the results of which will be submitted to the Djiboutian authorities: a contribution by amateur divers to the progress of scientific knowledge.

Participants will be housed in tents. A boat will be provided to each team to conduct searches and dives. Funds under-sailors are exceptionally preserved, because the island of Moucha is not yet very frequented by tourists.

To date, the event has received the support of the main media players in the world of diving.-Marine: Subaqua, Octopus, International Divers, Water Searchers, Plongeur.com, Paradise.com, Plongee.com and Diving Mag.

The magazine and environment site Neoplanete.com also supports the protection actions of the underwater world of Objectif Atlantis.

For the 2010 edition, several personalities and journalists announced their presence, including:

- Thibaud Vaneck and Franck Borde with the commitment of a team of actors from the TV series “Plus Belle La Vie”

- Albert Falco, captain of the Calypso during 40 years (boat of the Cousteau commander).

Created in 1989 by Daniel Méouchy, Objectif Atlantis, treasure hunt under-marine and terrestrial, is a great adventure of the world of diving. The association is very attached to the protection of the seabed. From 1989 to 1999, participants collected litter found at the bottom of the sea during the event. Since the 2000 years, we highlight the most beautiful initiatives related to the protection of the seabed.

Journalists wishing to go there or receive information can contact the organization.
