The first vice-president and councilor of Culture of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Enrique Arriaga, presented this Wednesday, together with the director of Futura Producciones, Antonio Perera, ‘Canarias under the sea’, a documentary series that is constituted as an underwater tourist guide which reveals in detail the seabed of the islands through ten chapters of 35 minutes each.

“We know that the audiovisual sector is an important business niche for the island that we should not underestimate, therefore, we want to promote island production by supporting the local sector,” he said.
In addition, he highlighted “the important tourist attraction that this documentary series will become when it is broadcast internationally,” since it is a 35-minute long spot that includes the most striking landscapes of each island in the archipelago.

The series is a guide designed for the diver, recorded in 4K, in which the characteristics of the dive are located and detailed with indications such as, for example, indicating the depth, the water temperature or whether it is accessed from the sea or from land , information to which is added a catalog of the fish in those funds.
