One hundred and sixty years told through a long "immersion" in the events of the people and companies that contributed to the development of the Diver Service. The Deane brothers, Augustus Siebe, Italo Zannoni, Roberto Galeazzi, Francesco Longobardo, Alberto Gianni, Angelo Belloni are referenced in the pages of the book. From the first dives carried out in the nineteenth century with elastic diving suits, to the modern equipment of today, passing through the evolution of diving procedures in the light of the great discoveries of underwater medicine, the conquest of the depths through the use of rigid articulated diving suits and of the butoscopic turrets, the naval recoveries and the first submarine rescue attempts. A road paved with experiments, sacrifices and dedication that have made the divers of the Italian Navy a point of reference in the world of diving. A fabulous book of the highest publishing standards and printing.
