Why swim, when you can ride? Diver Propulsion Vehicles (DPVs) offer both rec and tech divers a number of safety and performance benefits. They can extend your range, reduce exertion, save gas, and help deal with currents. However, as instructor Tim Blömeke explains, they can also get divers in trouble. Here’s some food for thought. #alertdiver #divingsafety #daneurope

A special dive for a special river 💙 In the heart of Abruzzo, the #Tirino river enchants with its crystal clear waters and extraordinary biodiversity. But even this little paradise is not immune to abandoned waste. For this reason, we carried out a cleanup and environmental monitoring operation together with a team of biologists and expert divers. We want to protect this fragile and precious ecosystem. 🛶 By canoe, on land and underwater, we joined forces to remove waste and document the state of the river. A concrete action for nature and for those who love to experience it, respecting it. ⚠️ Important: diving in the Tirino is not allowed. Our work was authorized exclusively for the environmental protection project. Protecting also means not disturbing. 🌊 Discover the images of the project and let yourself be inspired! A project by Il Bosso società cooperativa and DAN Europe, in collaboration with Scuola Sub LOTO, Prof Cristina Gioia Di Camillo (Università Politecnica delle Marche), giulio venditti, Paola Beatrice Ortolani. Thanks to the Municipality of Capestrano and the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park Authority.
