The Djiboutian Forces and EUCAP Nestor team were welcomed on board by the Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Commander Juan Carlos Perez Guerrero.
The Djiboutian divers were given a brief by the Spanish warship’s Diving Officer, covering safety and general aspects of diving operations conducted on board a warship.
After the brief, the Djiboutian and Spanish divers conducted two dives. The first was a general familiarisation dive, with the second one including a hull inspection of Meteoro’s propeller shaft, rudder and propeller blades.
