After one year of break to pursue my sailing license, I spent a week with my irreplaceable buddy Damien on the boat of Sailing bubbles. We were staying on a beautiful Sun Odyssey sailboat, and we moved to the Aeolian Islands (Filicudi and Lipari), and finally to the natural reserve of Capo Milazzo in Sicily.

The dives were challenging, often touching 40m for 60 minutes of dive, but we did see some spectacular things, and I am particularly happy of the photos this year!

What went not perfectly well was that my trusted Sea&Sea strobe flooded on my last day, but it was probably time to buy a new one!

The Maldives offer amazing biodiversity, with large fishes (sharks and mantas) as well as reef life. These pictures are from a week-long cruise with Emperor Maldives. Great experience and great company!

Diving in Liguria (Portofino Natural Park) with Massub diving. August 2020.

I have created a divelog page that I distribute to my students. It is based on my experience and it is meant to contain all the important information that an Open Water/Advanced diver should include while describing their dives. I am releasing it as open source, it is saved in svg format, which you can edit with Inkscape.

I prepared it in two versions: the standard “Divelog” format (188x118mm) and the standard “Personal Organizer” format (170x95mm). If you prepare other formats and you would like to see them on this page, or if you make any improvement that you would like to share, feel free to contact me..

Below, you can see the previews of the divelog pages, with links to the svg files and links to pdf files that can be printed on A4 paper double-sided (long edge binding) to have nice double-sided pages ready to be put into your divelog!
