HELLO GUYS
TODAY I WANT TO TELL
Hello guys, today I want to tell
my first underwater experience. I state that I am not a great
writer and the last time I wrote two lines, 'was when I was
still the shorts, but I guarantee you that this experience
deserves to be told in spite of the blunders and spelling
errors will imply that' my to venture. It all begins in October
of last year when I finally got the chance 'to enroll in a
course of sub (... the beauty of 43 years .... and played'
which is not true 'never too late). The route runs regularly
attend the lessons of theory and practice during the winter,
then spring to conduct examinations; first in confined water
and then in the open sea so getting 'the patent of 1 degree,
I finally manage to fulfill a desire I had always, perhaps
even before birth, it all takes place in northern Italy, where
I live and work. The adventure begins when the time comes
to leave for the summer holidays and is born in me the fear
of facing the first dive independently without being accompanied
and guided by the instructors that I have formed during the
course, but despite everything I pluck up courage along with
the usual baggage and cargo in car, even all my heavy equipment.
June in July in Santa Caterina in Calabria in the Ionian half
of the much awaited vacation, here I start to give me to do
the search for a diving and I find two, one in Soverato and
the Other in Punta Stilo, for reasons of proximity and therefore
comfort 'but heard good things I choose to Punta Stilo. Tracing
a phone number and talk to Mario, who after a brief chat invites
me at its center where you can get to know us, with amazement
accept the invitation and joined them the next night. The
diving was right there ', to Stylus, in a valley rich in history
and mysticism, and I realized that I approached a diving center
has ever seen before, as soon as I found myself inside I began
to perceive the high professionalism' the organizational structure
that revolved around this allowed him to calm down and give
confidence to the people around me, so I did 'knowledge of
Mario and His Wife Alfina exceptional people who have made
a reason for living underwater. After I booked 2 dives: -
The first submerged in the Temple of Kaulon Monasterace Marina,
made even more fascinating dive 'briefing appreciated by the
great work that Mario and finally they did before the dive,
had it not been for their patient explanation of what will
be 'short course I would have seen I would not be able to
fully appreciate the great historical and cultural value,
I remember admiring the ancient drums of columns with the
block of fusion visible, some pieces of floor of the old port,
including an old mooring cleats, depth sounder and a rudimentary
various shards of pots scattered here and there. ' It 'was
really nice to be able to immerse between the pieces of an
ancient civilization' of the underwater world in a long time
that only the majesty 'of nature' could save money and save
up to today, causing them to re-emerge from the sand the end
of this beautiful backdrop of crystal clear sea. -The second
dive and 'turn in Soverato Secca del Monaco, in addition to
Mario and Alfina dived with us Alessio a Marine Biologist
(That had started to dive with oxygen tanks and finally with
Mario since he was 14 years old) and Ivano a police diver,
I was pretty much between people truly capable and prepared
and more that I did not act like a sponge trying to learn
thirsting to know the most of every gesture, every action
that was performed and every word that was said so 'from can
greatly increase my little background in the field and not
just underwater. I remember that during the 'Alfina and immersion'
in the mask inlet and Ivano promptly gave him another holding
of reserves in the pocket of his jacket. In this episode we
learn that, and I now treasure 'should always have with you'
a mask of reserve, because 'under' water you never know what
can 'happen. At the end of the dive and to Alexis 'occurred
but a cramp in the foot' and 'was readily managed by Alfina
so' as not to compromise at all our dive. During the dive
as well as having admired the hole in the bottom that had
lasted for 500 meters in depth 'I remember taking her hands
and stroked me up an octopus' Mario after his caresses, I
could see a razorfish, I nubibranco seen, the taxifolia racemosa,
elk horns, the cerianthus, of which he learned of vermocane
how dangerous 'only after I show them to me Mario', the dive
we saw in the distance a sunfish. The Company and 'was very
good even after the dive, we drank together at the bar's bathroom
and we recounted the various experiences and sensations, I
regret having only 2 dives in the company of these new friends,
but certainly next year will I know 'get organized better
also because' I have set myself the goal in the meantime to
acquire the 2 nd grade. I tried to be as' succinctly as possible
to avoid more bother 'that much, unfortunately, certain experiences
are experienced in first person, certainly not have heard
the same effect, and' why do hope that one day , to be able
to do my own experience maybe with Mario and Alfina I warmly
greet you with a hug and see you soon. Isidoro D' Urso Ceranova
