Born in Northern Italy away from the sea. I was an avid snorkeler when I was a kid thanks to my parents who took me to the coast every summer. I did my first cold water swims in Ireland and Scotland.

Big Miracle

It was rather goofy and a bit too sappy for my taste. I kept asking myself: "Why she jumps into the water without inflating her BC, where is the dry suit hose? etc.etc." Unfortunately the real story did not have such a cut and dry happy ending like the movie.

No diving for a month

by Soakedlontra on February 1st, 2012 at 03:11 AM
Mexican buses were great a part from the air conditioning

I am packing my stuff again but not the scuba gear. I am going back to Barrow, Alaska, for four weeks so no diving until I come back in March.

Be safe and have fun underwater!

End of the year cold = no diving

by Soakedlontra on December 30th, 2011 at 11:03 PM
I won't celebrate the arrival of the New Year diving. I tried to contain the symptoms of a cold but it was all in vain. I am taking easy and letting my body to rest so, hopefully, it will be in good shape for my coming trip to Yucatan, Mexico!

Feliz Aņo Nuevo!
