Peltodoris atromaculata Reproduction

When we explore our underwater reefs we are often amazed by the number of species that we find in a few square meters and as in this case even in a few square centimeters. We have said it many times that biodiversity makes a habitat and an ecosystem more stable, solid and long-lasting. Often we fail to realize the quantity of different species that live next to each other and obviously it is almost impossible to know and recognize them all.

Tree Sponge or Branched Sponge - Axinella polypoides

In this dive on a seabed of about 40-42 meters deep we encountered the Tree Sponge or Branched Sponge, Axinella polypoides, a sponge typical of the Mediterranean Sea that develops vertically often with various branches almost like a coral.

No more plastics in the sea!!!

Marine plastics pollution is a type ranging in size from large original material such as bottles and bags, down to microplastics formed from the fragmentation of plastic material. Marine debris is mainly discarded human rubbish which floats on, or is suspended in the ocean. Eighty percent of marine debris is plastic. Microplastics and nanoplastics result from the breakdown or photodegradation of plastic waste in surface waters, rivers or oceans...

Mucillage and Toxic algae Ostreopsis ovata

Also in this year we are witnessing the now common and usual phenomenon of the inflorescence of marine mucilage along the coasts of our sea. At the same time as the mucilage, however, an excessive proliferation of the microalgae Ostreopsis cf. Ovata. Qhese two phenomena should not be connected or at least should not occur at the same time so frequently.

Squid eggs

In these two different dives at a depth ranging from about 40 to 50 meters, we filmed the eggs of the European squid (Loligo vulgaris) laid in completely different ways. In the first dive we found them in what would appear to be the optimal situation, i.e. in a hole near the red Gorgonian (Paramuricea clavata), therefore certainly in an area where a constant flow of current and therefore oxygenation is guaranteed ...

Cylinder anemone

Cylindrical or Cylinder anemone, Cerianthus membranaceus, (anemone cilindrico), is one of the species of deep sea anemones typical of the Mediterranean Sea. Autochthonous to the Mediterranean Sea, it can also be found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, on sandy or muddy bottoms from a few meters up to 40 meters deep, even if in this dive we are on a rock and sand bottom that varies from 45 to 48 meters deep. ...

Yellow gorgonian - Eunicella Cavolinii

We met Yellow gorgonian, Eunicella Cavolinii (Gorgonia gialla) on a seabed of about 42 meters deep and as we can see from the images these colonies of yellow gorgonian are almost completely covered by marine mucilage. Due to the heating of the waters, the phenomenon of mucilage is now constant and these gorgonians are the first to suffer its effects ...

Aplysia depilans - Sea hare

We publish another encounter with the Sea hare, Aplysia depilans, this time which took place on a depth of about 42/45 meters. We are on a not very high rock wall about 4/5 miles from the coast where, due to the now increasingly present mucillage, animals and marine organisms seem to have disappeared. ...

Charonia tritonis - Giant triton

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. ...

Mucilage in May!

Here we are! and also this year we are here with mucilage phenomenon, the problem is: we are just in May and a week ago there was absolutely nothing in the same place! Could we blame all this on Hannibal anticyclone and the anomalous heat of this season ?! ...

Effects of trawling

In this dive made some time ago on a depth ranging from 40 to 50 meters deep we filmed the usual ghost nets lost close to a cliff at a distance of about 5 miles from the coast. We spent almost the entire dive on the rocks that despite the conditions seemed quite vital, ...

Too many lost fishing nets

The marine environment is affected by all kinds of pollution that has always been caused by human activities but from the industrial era to the present day it has developed exponentially to the point that we may consider not to return. A human activity in direct contact with the sea is certainly represented by professional fishing. ...

Grabbed nets  by the rocks, and therefore now lost, are one of the most frequent environmental damage in our seas. Not only because they continue to kill marine species of fish, molluscs, crustaceans, corals, turtles and dolphins, ...

The Great Deception... 

This video show a jellyfish, (Rhizostoma pulmo), partially eaten by fish. It often happens during our dives to find jellyfish that have been attacked by fish; in fact they represent an important food for many marine animals including cetaceans: such as dolphins and whales, but also for sea turtles.

Again a Tyre at Sea

The sea is a complex ecosystem that we all have to respect and love because it could ultimately turn against us. We have also made a commitment to document the things that pollute or destroy the marine environment to make everyone aware of how to keep our sea clean.

A Sea of Plastic…?!

Marine animals, fish, cetaceans, marine reptiles, crustaceans, etc. do not distinguish the plastic materials from the plankton or jellyfishes they feed on and then try to eat them by swallowing them. It often happens that plastic bags swallowed lead to the death of animals or end up in their meat and then in the food chain that sees the man at the top.
