Sunday, July 24, 2016, thanks to Ideemare (http://www.ideemare.com/) in collaboration with Cala D’Oliva Diving (http://www.caladolivadiving.com/) the C4 DAY TEST in Asinara Island is born.

We will have the wonderful opportunity to test all the new line of C4 HyperTech fins in the beautiful blue waters of the Asinara Island National Park.

It will be a full day, this means not only for freedivers, but also for families and friends.
