After the international success of the III Vintage Underwater Cameras Meeting organised by BUCAM and the VI Jornadas de Buceo Vintage organised by HDSES, this year Vintage MedSub arrives with many new features from 22 to 24 September 2023.

The Spanish Association for the History of Diving (HDSES) will be organising a Diving Conference with historic equipment, where we are calling for the recovery, protection, dissemination and eventual use underwater of equipment that has formed part of the history of diving, on the beach of Sa Caleta and also dedicated to the world of historic underwater images at the initiative of the Barcelona Underwater Camera Museum (BUCAM) with exhibitions, conferences and screenings of films and documentaries in the Palas Atenea room of the Hotel Guitart Central Park in Lloret de Mar.

This year, taking advantage of the large number of divers present, we will also be cleaning the seabed of Lloret de Mar's beaches on the morning of the 24th. This activity is part of the "8th Great International Seabed and Beach Clean-up of the Marine Watchers Network, within the Libera Project" and as a preamble to the "II Plogging International Congress" which will take place on 7 October 2023 in Lloret de Mar.

In addition, the second edition of the Dr. Ernest Adler Award will be held for the best underwater photography captured with vintage cameras. It was in the waters of Sa Caleta that Dr. Ernest Adler built his watertight photography and film boxes, which enabled him to shoot the first amateur film images on the Costa Brava around 1945.
