Have a long life Princess!
Have a long life Princess!
It is a general excitation in one of the splendid marina in the heart of Miami. Scuba divers equipped with double tanks filled with Nitrox mixes are preparing to salute the beautiful “princess Britney” for a last trip to the bottom of the ocean where she will begin a new life.
Today we are sinking this beautiful Haitian Cargo. It is 9h am when we are leaving the dock. Robert briefed about the procedures and gave some safety guideline for this non-common dive. We are here between friends, lucky, this is not everyday that we sink a 200foot boat.

Azimuth in Miami
The Azimuth in Miami
Miami August 2002, I am driving nicely on the expressway. The purred of the V8 and the moisture in the air helps to dream. Traveling inside a “guerilla patchanka”, I imagine the training and survival skills in the Amazonian jungle were about. I am thinking about my notes about the biography regarding the man I have a meeting with this evening, “MO”
Mauricio Defendi, former member of the Brazilian Special Forces is one of the main actors about the CCR and SCR Rebreather manufactured by OMG. He is the author of the IANTD Standards with Tom Mount for the same Rebreathers. The Italian Navy used them for years. Now they are on the American market, nicer, safer, and accessible for everyone and for the fun to the US divers. Smart teaching programs have been created for the non-divers to enjoy rebreather diving.......
