Salvamento Marítimo has rescued an immigrant of North African origin on July 30, 2022, when he was trying to reach the Spanish coast by propelling himself with a surfboard in the waters of the Bay of Algeciras in Cádiz. The rescue occurred after the 'Bahama Mama' called the Tarifa MRCC in Cádiz at 9:00 a.m. to warn of the presence of a "man overboard" in the entrance of the Bay of Algeciras.. Slavamento Marítimo mobilized the SAR boat 'Salvamar Denébola' which located an man on board a surfboard, with a neoprene suit and fins, with which he had managed to cross the Strait. He has been transferred to the port of Algeciras in apparent good health.
