News keep coming! This time a bit more technical than usual. We have just included two new probes packed with many sensors. Most of them are for scientific use (dissolved oxygen, chlorophyl , pH, salinity, etc) but the data are publicly available anyway in the science section at torallamar.info.

There are two new measurements that could be of interest for scuba divers:
  • A new temperature probe located at 1.5m depth.
  • A turbidity sensor that will help in having an idea of the underwater visibility.
We are using a visibility scale according to other places and will appreciate any feedback about the visibility conditions that you may find in the are together with the date and time. This way we can build a better scale for the site.

Both measurements are available in the "professional/sports" section at torallamar.info and in the science section. In the general page we will keep the temperature measured at 0.5m because is the one that affects to beach users.
