An annoying wind, coming from the south, is making the sea in front of Isola delle Femmine slightly rough. It will certainly make difficult the operations of the team of divers who today will go down into the water to try to recover a ghost net, stranded on a large boulder at a depth of about 50 meters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The operation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It is an operation organized by Marevivo<\/a>, thanks to the recommendation of Tony Scontrino<\/strong> of the Diving Center Saracen<\/a>  in Isola delle Femmine. In the previous days, the team dived twice to survey the site and to start clearing the net at the deepest part. <\/p>\n\n\n

We are within the “B” area of \u200b\u200bthe protected marine area of \u200b\u200bCapo Gallo-Isola delle Femmine, a few hundred meters from the islet which, with its Saracen tower, dominates this fascinating bay.<\/p>\n\n\n

We immediately realized the size of this phantom network. Descending deeply, it forms a high cylindrical column that rises upwards, at the mercy of the current. As I move away slightly, it feels to be in the presence of a long submarine that rises from the bottom towards the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n

The mission<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The sun has just risen when we find ourselves at the support diving center for the preparation of equipment and for the briefing. Massimiliano Falleri<\/strong>, coordinator of  Marevivo diving division<\/a>, illustrates his program and mission objectives. Tony Scontrino<\/strong>, of the Saracen Diving Center<\/a>, plans the technical operations and the division of teams and tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
