Siamo su alcuni scogli isolati ad una profondità di 40/46 metri, dove abbiamo trovato due belli esemplari di Charonia tritonis, Tritone mediterraneo. Il tritone è il mollusco e di conseguenza la conchiglia più grande del Mar Mediterraneo. In questa immersione ne abbiamo incontrati due, il primo lo abbiamo filmato casualmente sulla parete che stavamo esplorando, ci siamo accorti guardando le riprese di esserci passati accanto senza vederlo. Il secondo era dentro una buca dalla quale lo abbiamo spostato per cercare di filmarlo meglio. ...

We have filmed Common octopus, Octopus vulgaris, several times on intotheblue.it but each encounter with this cephalopod mollusk is always unique and different from the previous ones. In this case, in fact, the octopus was so well camouflaged on the seabed that it was not possible to see it from just a few meters below the surface. I found it when I got so close that it scared him and then changed color since the camouflage was ineffective.

The ornate wrasse, Thalassoma pavo, is a species of wrasse native to the rocky coasts of the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. This species is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries, is also popular as a game fish, and can be found in the aquarium trade.

Silvio wreck is now reduced to very bad conditions due to the time that has passed but, above all, due to the fishing boats that cause continuous hooks with their trawl nets and then, in an attempt to recover them, cause further damage to the structure of the tug; the wreck is in fact almost completely surrounded by fishing nets. As you can see from the video, the seabed on which it is located is a muddy seabed and a few movements by the diver are enough to lift the mud and make visibility poor; therefore considerable experience is required to avoid accidents and dive in complete safety.
