Marine goldfish - Anthias anthias

This article and this video are dedicated to the Marine goldfisg (Chromis chromis), companion and guardian of our dives over 40 meters deep. This fish belonging to the Serranidae family (the same as the Mediterranean Brown Grouper) lives on coralligenous seabeds and begins to be present from 30 meters deep onwards. However, it can be found up to 200 meters and in our scuba dives it is practically omnipresent. ...

Brown Meagre

Brown Meagre (Sciaena umbra) is one of the most beautiful fish in the Mediterranean Sea and in this dive we met two of them on a rocky bottom of about 38 - 42 meters deep. As you can see we managed to get very close without scaring them and they then showed us their beautiful colors and reflections, captured by our torches and cameras.. ...

Night Encounters - Gilt-head bream

At night, most fish slow down their activity, some species sleep, others enter a sort of stasis, others reduce their metabolism to a minimum while remaining alert and vigilant to dangers. We can say that fish actually take micro-sleeps both during the day and during the night.. ...

Anchovies make a ball

It often happens that anchovies make a ball like in the famous song by Fabrizio De Andrè and Ivano Fossati, except that in this case they are not attacked by the albacore but by saddled breams. As you can see in the video, everything happens in a few moments and this school of anchovies tries to aggregate to escape predators, taking the shape of a large blue ball.. ...

Black seabream

Black seabream, Spondyliosoma cantharus, also called Cantaro in Italy, is a fish belonging to the Sparidae family, like the more common bream, and sea bream. We usually encounter this fish on the shallows in the open sea and at depths of 10 to 100 meters. In this video we see it close to the coast and a rocky seabed of about 4/5 metres. This fish is usually quite shy and wary and tends to flee from the presence of the diver; this Tanuta, on the other hand, allowed herself to be approached and filmed at a distance of just over one metre.. ...

European conger

Common conger is a bony sea fish belonging to the Congridae family. Here we see it in its lair at a depth of about 52 metres, on a muddy seabed at the base of a beautiful vertical wall, even a few meters high, of rock and coral. As we see, the wall is colonized by many Mediterranean organisms such as sponges, corals and gorgonians, full of caves and ravines where these fish seek shelter during the day and food during the night. ...

Leerfish or Garrick - Lichia amia

We had been trying for a long time to film Leerfish or Garrick - Lichia amia - one of the most beautiful and most elusive Carangidae endemic to the Mediterranean Sea. It is a pelagic species but, like all carangids, Leerfish usually approaches the coast at the beginning of June, disappears, returns at the end of August until October. In the video we met her during the final phase of a storm, when the large carangids of the Mediterranean (Learfish and Amberjack) approach the coasts in search of food, this is why their elusive nature allows them to be spotted by divers only for a few moments and then disappears into the blue. ...

Red scorpionfish

In this beautiful dive we met many specimens of Red scorpionfish, Scorpaena scrofa, and these that we see in the video are particularly large, almost a meter long. This species is typical of the Mediterranean Sea and we have met them at a depth of 52/53 meters in what would be their ideal habitat, i.e. the typical coralline seabed full of holes and ravines where Gorgonians and sponges thrive on which they settle perch waiting to launch some ambush to fish like the red damselfish.

Curiosity of the octopus

Common octopus, Octopus vulgaris, is an extremely curious animal towards everything that happens in its territory and this makes it one of the most intelligent species in the underwater world. In this video we see him emerge from his den intent on studying the camera specially placed on the seabed to test his curiosity.We identified it thanks to the presence of some fish such as the Sciarrano (Serranus scriba) and Donzella pavonina (Thalassoma pavo), intent on scrutinizing its den probably waiting for some food waste. ...
