The exhibition, which will remain open to the public until September 13 at the Beneficència, highlights the history of the fishermen from Benidorm. Through the lens of Jesús Navarro, a pioneer of underwater photography, visitors can learn about the harshness and complexity of an ancient art that shaped the economy and identity of the Alicante town.

The exhibition not only displays images taken between 1959 and 1969, but also incorporates original materials such as underwater cameras, oxygen tanks, and archaeological pieces provided by the Museum of Prehistory. According to the exhibition curator, this work is an exercise in recovering collective memory before the testimonies of the last captains and crews were lost.

The opening ceremony was attended by the presidents of the Valencia and Alicante provincial councils, who highlighted the importance of institutional collaboration in preserving cultural heritage. After its time in Valencia, the exhibition will begin a tour that will include a stop at the Benidorm City Council.
