Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. The Mediterranean is much more than a calm sea: beneath the surface lies an ecosystem full of life.

The regulars

  • Groupers: curious and huge, they often approach divers.
  • Octopuses: masters of camouflage; with patience you will spot them among the rocks.
  • Sea bream: schools that drift past without a care.

Small treasures

Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem. Nudibranchs, with their impossible colours, are one of the great joys of underwater photography.

Posidonia, the lungs of the sea

Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet. These meadows produce oxygen, protect the coastline and shelter dozens of species. Let us look after them: do not touch, step on or anchor over them.
