wHY underwater?

When you start sailing, it may happen that you start thinking about that mysterious natural world you have under the boat.
It’s not enough anymore to accindentaly see a limited fauna ascending to the water surface. It’s not enough anymore to see what is visible at few meters underwater. It’s not enough anymore to look at your electronic seafloor map.
You want to see more. You want it more real and closer to you. You want to go deep underwater and get to know the fauna, flora and the history (just think about historic shipwrecks) hidden underwater of the places you visit.

That need is getting stronger and stronger over the time and scuba diving is the solution.

gallinara island (italy)

The Gallinara Island (Albenga, Italy) is a natural marine reserve full of flora, fauna and history.

That’s the place where Jeronimo and I spent two days practical exam to get our Advanced Open Water Diver certification cards.
