It was 118 meters long with a maximum width of 16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It was requisitioned by the Navy for long periods during the Second World War. In one of these periods, exactly on February 2, 1943, it left Naples to reach Messina, under the orders of the Captain of Lungo Corso Amedeo Astarita, inside a convoy carrying foodstuffs, loads of cement and some secret documents intended for the Sicilian military command. The Valsavoia had been armed, to defend itself from possible enemy attacks, with a stern cannon and a machine gun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The navigation proceeded calmly when, having rounded <em>Punta Campanella<\/em>, a few miles away from Capri, the torpedoes launched by the Royal Navy submarine Safari hit and sank the steamboats of the <em>Valsavoia and Salemi<\/em> convoy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">No defense was possible as the cannon, with which the Valsavoia was armed, was located in the stern area which unfortunately was the first to sink.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Fortunately, almost the entire crew was rescued by the emergency response of the Positano people, who immediately went down to the water with their boats to help the victims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>Today the Valsavoia wreck lies on a sandy bottom about 90 meters offshore between the frames of Capri and Positano<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-9531 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.underwatertales.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/xr-wreck-tour-18-valsavoia-scaled.jpg'><img width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.underwatertales.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/xr-wreck-tour-18-valsavoia-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.underwatertales.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/xr-wreck-tour-18-valsavoia-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.underwatertales.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/xr-wreck-tour-18-valsavoia-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.underwatertales.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/xr-wreck-tour-18-valsavoia-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Il tempo di navigazione, dalla marina di Castellammare di Stabia, per raggiungere il sito di immersione \u00e8 di circa mezz\u2019ora.

The difference lies in the fact that we trust not to use them while for them they are an essential element of air source during the decompression phase.
