The Last Ship of Mussolini
Deep wreck diving on the Viminale
By Eurotek Presenter Edoardo Pavia
Speaker profile >> |
This presentation tells the story of the Viminale deep shipwreck
off the coast of Italy.
Quote:- Carl Spencer 2006
"The best wreck I have dived next to Britannic, absolutely
awesome"
Edoardo Pavia will deliver for the first time a fantastic presentation,
rich in photography, will be of interest to all wreck divers
and ocean photographers. A 10,000 ton + liner lying off the
coast of Italy in brilliant visibility deeper than 100m in tidal
conditions gives deep wreck divers a truly challenging experience
as this presentation will show. |
