Italian navy divers on the Costa Concordia wreck

Listen to this article

The vessel is currently at a depth of 20m, but it is possible that the movement of the water, as well as the work of Italian sappers, will cause it to slip to a depth of 70m. For this reason, all work is carried out only during the day.

We are publishing today a video in which divers of the Italian navy can be seen. Unfortunately, there is something on it that concerns us a lot. Are you also conspicuous by a certain piece of equipment that should not, when diving (and certainly when diving on a wreck), have so much freedom?
