Early in the morning, the team convened for a briefing regarding the operations of the days to come. While Max Guérout remains at base to work, all the others pile into a 4x4 to go down to Algiers. After a short stopover at the Citadel to pick up the side scan sonar (in order to use it later at the press conference), the brave go down to foot while the remainder of the group consisting of Joe Guesnon and Adlane Ferchouli will see the persons who run the Espadon dive club so as to organize the support for the project.

All the participants of the training course as well as some people of the Ministry and some journalists meet at the Raïs Palace for a presentation of remote sensing project (magnetometer and side sonar) planned for the zone located outside Hussein Dey where the fleet of Charles V was lost in 1541.

Mourad Betrouni and Rachida Zadem from the Ministry for the Culture, Max Guérout, Director of the training course and Mohamed Dahmani, Directeur of the National Agency of Archaeology present the project to the press. Also presented were the scientific and technical aspects of collaboration put together within the framework of La Navigation du Savoir.
After the evening meal, the group joined together to see the video made in 2002 during the first training course of underwater archaeology at Villefranche on the wreck of Lomellina. It has been almost three years since this adventure started and these images bring back important memories to the trainees present.
