After closing the season with a pre-Christmas dive near the Burgas bridge, the divers from the Burgas "Friends of the Sea" association are preparing for the opening of the new season on January 2 and are already planning their program for 2023. 
One of their ambitious goals is related to the sinking of plane Tu 134 near the island of Saint Anastasia, which will become an attraction for local and foreign divers, the chairman of the association, Stoyan Dimitrov, explained to BNR Burgas.
