Chieco Cristiano
I was born in Venice in 1967 and my passion for the sea was transmitted to me by my grandfather and his stories of when he was in the navy. In 1998 I attended my first diving course, which allowed me to see the beauty of the sea and its depths first hand. Continuing my career up to the instructors' course, I was able to meet many people but above all many friends who, in addition to passing on their knowledge and love of the sea, allowed me to visit beautiful places both above and below the surface. My most beautiful human experience was certainly my participation in a training course for underwater guides for the visually impaired, which confirms that no handicap is stronger than the will to overcome it. My passion for wrecks and their history has brought me closer to technical diving and to specialised diving courses, even if most of my profiles are recreational, relegating the technical ones only for real necessity. The photography and videos that have accompanied my dives for some years now have been the logical consequence of wanting to document and show others all that is hidden beneath the waves. The history and development of the peoples who live and have lived along the Mediterranean Sea basin can only be understood by considering the importance that the sea has always held in all ages. Our future will depend on our willingness and ability to preserve rivers, lakes, seas and oceans. Didactics : WASE, PADI, TSA, CMAS
