Despites an unthinkable amount of problems that arose every hour of this expedition, Aldo managed with great professionnalism to securely drop the attendant members of the Xpedition Team in the waters of the Gulf of Napoli for anthology dives. Without his personnal competence in sailing and diving, this incredible diving week would have been cancelled. |
|
